Try again, with more proof and less misplaced outrage.

Dean condescends to women, pervs on them, leers at them, objectifies them, calls them "honey" and "sweetheart" like an asshole when he doesn't even know them, treats them like shit that's there for his entertainment, and on and on. He treats them as lesser and less skilled automatically. Oh, and let's not even start on how he and Sam act in "The Slice Girls" because the TOMES I could write on that disgustingly sexist fucking piece of shit episode... well.
I mean, for fuck's sake. You pretty much either have to have no clue what misogyny even is (as you seem to) or have never actually watched the show to miss it. It's not exactly hidden.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-14 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)What, you mean their disgust and outrage after the woman steals his sperm to make a baby? Oh yeah, that's totally unjustified.
Dean's an asshole, yes, but he doesn't think women are lesser creatures. He puts them on a pedestal, reveres them. He's got mommy issues. His favorite woman is his dead mother who was taken away from him, and no woman will measure up to her. You can see in his eyes, when he's confronted with her ghost.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK WOMEN ARE POND SCUM TO BE A MISOGYNIST. Do you have difficulty reading?

Really? I don't remember him doing a lot of "revering" of the many, MANY women he's paid attention to explicitly based on their physical appearances! Also, putting women on a pedestal can be just as sexist and gross as thinking they're all disgusting, just fyi. Expecting women to be ~perfect angelic beings~ is also sexist.
His favorite woman is his dead mother who was taken away from him, and no woman will measure up to her.
AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT AT ALL RIGHT
You can see in his eyes, when he's confronted with her ghost.
In, what, one clip in the middle-ish of the first bloody season? Wow. You really are reaching. Holy shit.
Also, yeah, comparing every woman ever to your dead mother and finding them wanting because they're not ~perfect like her? (Which I don't even think Dean does, but we'll go off of your thoughts here.) Is really sexist and incredibly fucking creepy.

Do you? I was responding to this comment you made:
"He treats them as lesser and less skilled automatically."
Lesser. Your word, not mine.
In, what, one clip in the middle-ish of the first bloody season?
And Dark Side of the Moon, when she's acting all domestic and he's a wide-eyed 4 year old again.

Uh huh. Still doesn't work for me, but hey, I'm not the one defending sexism and er. Being really fucked up about Dean's relationship with his mother tbh, so...
no subject
Appreciating an attractive person - like every single fangirl does daily, with pictures and porny fic - is not misogyny, nor is it sexism.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-04-14 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)I abhor double standards. Most of the people who label Dean as a misogynist wouldn't give a crap if he were a woman doing the same thing.
It's great that women are growing more confident in expressing their desires and attraction towards the opposite sex, but it's so stupid that when men do so now they're told they're misogynistic and sexist.
In an earlier F!S post, there was a comment by a male user saying that he was bashed on an SPN comm for saying he liked Jo's tits and wanted to sleep with her. =/ If it'd been a girl saying that she wanted to jump on Sam's probably massive cock, or commenting on the deliciousness Dean's ass and bow legs, I doubt anyone would have been so outraged.
no subject
I've hated it since it first started and the Dean!hate got so damn loud you couldn't hear much else.
no subject
Oh wait. No, there's a HUGE FUCKING DIFFERENCE you ignorant, sexist jerk. Like, several thousand years of objectification, commodification, degradation, and oppression worth of difference.
no subject
no subject
And lol. Oh NOES, men are being OBJECTIFIED on A SITE on the INTERNET! This is surely horrific and totally comparable to the institutionalized, normalized way society and men objectify, commodify and oppress women! OH WAIT.
Wow you're. Actually. Really disgustingly sexist. I'm out now, cos I just ate and you're making me sick, you stupid fuck.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-14 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)What? How is Dean misogynistic? Because he flirts and sleeps with girls? Because from where I'm standing, most of the girls look just as eager to flirt and jump into bed with him.
Newsflash, misogyny is the hatred and demeaning of woman. Does Dean hate women? No. Does he demean them? No. Does he feel that they're inferior to him? NO. So then how can he possible be a misogynist? Because he flirts and leers? Guess what? I flirt and leer, too! Am I sexist and misandristic towards men for doing so?
The only women in the series who Dean trashtalks are gender-neutral DEMONS or women like Bela who have robbed him, got him into serious trouble, shot his brother, nearly caused his death, and etc. I find it hilarious how she does all that shit to him and no one blinks an eye, but then he goes around and calls her a bitch and suddenly he's a grade-A asshole.
no subject
Hating and demeaning women outright and intentionally IS NOT ALL THERE IS TO SEXISM. If you think that, you're an idiot. I'm sorry, plain and simple, you are.
He still uses sexist slurs. Against WOMEN, most of the time. He uses them against demons while they're inhabiting female bodies. He uses them against Bela, who is a bad person but NO ONE DESERVES TO HAVE SLURS USED AGAINST THEM EVER. EVER. And that makes him a fucking asshole.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-15 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)And please, refrain from speaking up for women and for people who suffer from mental conditions in the future. I assume that you are also a woman who suffers from poor mental health, but you are not our spokesman and we have enough problems without you stirring shit up.
no subject
(ETA: Do you really think accusing me of being a slash writer is going to what, bring me to my knees and make me beg forgiveness for being a ~bad feminist or something? Yeah, I write slash. With both men and women. I also write het on occasion! And I'm, uh, a lesbian, so how about you step the fuck off this kink-shaming bullshit?)
Oh yeah, and fuck you for the second paragraph. I'll speak as I'd like, you derailing, condescending asshole. Like I believe for a second that you didn't mean "a woman who suffers from poor mental health" as an insult. Bite me.

I officially stopped watching Supernatural after "The Slice Girls." The sexism in that episode is the worst I have EVER seen in the show (which is really saying something) and it literally made me ill. I had pretty much given up on it long before then, but continued to watch the odd episode and keep up on summaries of what I didn't see. I saw "The Slice Girls" because I fucking love Amazons. Yeah. Went well for me.
Also, I don't think it's necessarily "abhorrent." I've never said people should never watch anything involving misogyny ever. It would be impossible, there'd be nothing to watch. BUT it is REALLY important to acknowledge the issues in media and argue/lobby against -isms in media to the creators. Supernatural fandom, unfortunately, is especially adept at supporting -isms in the show and defending them, which is what really grosses me out.
I mean, just imagine if the fandom had written in and petitioned in SUPPORT of Jo instead of begging them to kill her off because she ~dared to look at Dean Winchester and like what she saw. Hell, imagine the same for any of the female characters in the show. Imagine if someone wrote in and asked them to maybe stop throwing around sexist slurs all the time -- more people would be comfortable watching the show, and that's good, right? It goes on. The show would be better, the fandom would be better, if the sexism was out of it. But that'll never happen because of people like the ones in this thread who defend and make excuses for sexism and/or play willfully ignorant about it. So the show will keep being sexist, the fandom will keep being sexist, and basically it'll keep driving people off.
