As for Spike rebelling against Dru, I suppose you could cite his utter rejection of her in Crush - the woman he's adored for 100 years and he spurns her - actually knocks her flying - in favour of the Slayer. ha! good point :) by that token, Angel rebelled against Darla as well. what with staking her for the slayer, and then his rather rude behavior towards the vampire her in As2-3 ;)
peasant's essay really is something to check out if you liked the bit about the Master. she did it much better :)
As for it being odd that Buffyverse vampire culture appears to be so paternalistic in a feminist show, I suppose one could say, well, they're evil so they're bound to keep to tradtions not approved of by Joss. Or something? annd another excellent thought :) they just ended up being more "human" and sympathetic than he anticipated, I guess.
