leads to stayed, BORING BORING BORING narrative, imaginative, and philosophical possibilities for the show, as do most of the reductive "the dollhouse/actions of (character of choice) is definitly (fill in the blank: good/evil/responsible for kitten viral illnesses)" assumptions it is so comforting to make).

I think what people have trouble with is the difference between dystopia and misogyny. The characters can be trapped in a totally dystopian situation (that is also completely misogynistic) without the show itself being misogynistic.

Plus we are (hopefully) at the beginning of a long journey. If the characters started out in a situation that was generally okay, then there would be no story.

Buffy was the same way. It's not feminist (or at least I don't think it is) b/c Buffy can kick some ass. It's feminist b/c it's all about a woman coming to power and then changing the power structure. But that doesn't fully happen until the series finale. But the fact that Buffy has superpowers from the beginning masks how little power she actually has over her life. So nobody gets pissy.

What's hard about Dollhouse is that the characters are so clearly stuck in a frakked up situation- that they so clearly have no power and that makes (and SHOULD make) people feel really uncomfortable.
