I wasn't in fandom at the time but I can just imagine the reaction then and now, if Buffy had "let" Dawn die or, as you say, tossed her into the portal....it's bad enough that Buffy is "bitchy" to Spike. Letting a child die? Isn't that the exact opposite of what Slayers - and women in general - are supposed to do?
