long reply is long!
I don't think SPN's perfect. And I do wish the women got to live longer, but I think it does a truly impressive job at coming up with amazing, multifaceted, badass women with agency and power, heroes and villains both, women who want to accomplish shit and get it done, even when they die doing it. Ladies who want more out of life than just a husband and some kids, even though some of em do - something a lot of shows that get respect for feminism frequently fail on. Even the minor characters, the one-episode women, some of whom totally save Sam and Dean's asses, an awesomely diverse group of girls in regards to character and social class and career (sheriffs, psychics, journalists, bartenders, doctors who love to party, secretaries from Peoria, hunters, Lisa's not a one-ep woman but just for the example yoga instructors with a kid, hotel owners, flight attendants, actresses, diner waitresses who practice archery, public defenders, housewives with an interest in witchcraft, college students, occasionally an awesome demon). Pamela was awesome, Bela was awesome, Meg is awesome...I love every woman who was ever on the show, and I love its deconstructing of stereotypical Macho Male behaviour too
all this said, it could really work on bringing more in and keeping them alive, and definitely minorities & queer representation (though I also think Dean's bi). But yeah, I'm not as bothered by the show's use of the word bitch as some folks are, though it's totally their prerogative. (I probably should have just left this comment at YES THIS I AGREE cause all I'm doing is agreeing with you point by point, but I've typed too much by now to want to erase it all =/)
I would read the hell out of a formal breakdown on this subject! I hope you wind up writing it :D
Re: long reply is long!
Man, I wish I remembered to mention the one-shot characters too. Madison and Missouri especially were fantastic (and I liked Lisa too, though not a lot until season six). AND YOU MENTIONED BELA, YES, SHE RIVALS ANNA AND ELLEN FOR BEING MY FAVORITE FEMALE. She was so fierce, and I wish we'd gotten a more proper backstory for her, like how she ended up being a catburglar.
Dean is so obviously coded to me that I find it almost laughable that nothing's actually official, and I think the same for Gabriel, Balthazar, and Ruby (the other witch in season three who's name escapes me had me thinking this). But yeah, I'd really appreciate more POC on the show too (Rufus's awesome notwithstanding).
