I think I must suck, because honestly re: SPN wank? I don't care.
*ducks*
Yes, this makes me a bad feminist and Lord knows I am not going to post such in my own journal because I don't want to host the ensuing convo, but this really doesn't bother me. What bothers me in SPN is the way all the black people get offed as does anyone even remotely coded as queer. Dean saying bitch and slut and skank and ho? Does not bother me at all. Perhaps this is because I am a potty mouth and use such words at regular intervals myself. Perhaps this is because I see these words as largely genderless in this century--like asshole or fuckface or bastard. Perhaps this is because I think Dean lacks a vocabulary to properly insult "women" (demons) he doesn't like (often for very good reasons).
Does this mean I don't like Ruby? No. I really enjoyed her character. I liked Bella as well. And Jo and Ellen (<3) and Sarah and Jess and flashback!Mary and every female on the freaking show except for Cassie (which I think is largely due to the actress rather than the conception of the character).
