Clearly tastes and attitudes differ -- this was one of my unfavourite bits,

Yes, tastes do differ, that's what makes the discussions on this list so interesting :-) On my first viewing I dismissed Sara from the list of suspects because of her screaming, so it worked for me.
(And re Buffy, one of the nice things about BtVS is Buffy's competence in
fights -- pointedly unlike Sara.)<
I haven't seen Buffy, so I can't compare them. It seems to me though that, in her wrestle with Avon, Sara does manage to hit him where it hurts. (And because of that I can't really blame him for enjoying whacking her :-) )
