That's not necessarily true...there's Charlie Bradbury! (TBH, I only remembered her today because TNT ran The Girl With The Dungeon And Dragon Tattoo this morning.) she's been on three times (soon to be four) and she's not a romantic/sexual interested character. She's also quite knowledgeable. She's also well liked among fans!

Yeah but...don't get me wrong, I like Charlie and all, but she's just a perfect example of how male and female sexuality is treated differently in the media.

The only young attractive re-occuring female that isn't a love interest is a lesbian? What does that say about the show's ability to show females that aren't in a romantic/sexual thing with the main recurring males? That a woman has to be literally unattracted to *all* males to escape that trope?

Then there's the make-out scene, I think in the episode you mentioned. She makes out with another female, and it's really creepy and fetishized. They even have Dean going "awww yeah" and smirking creepily. Lesbianism as a performance for straight or bi/pan males is hardly groundbreaking.

I don't mean to be goal-post shifting on you, but it never even occurred to me that Charlie could count as an exception to what I said, because she's explicity a lesbian, (the only recurring character to have their orientation stated outright, iirc) and thus obviously not a love interest for dudes. It's also pretty sad that she is the only female character to be well-liked among the largely-female fanbase--what does it say that a character has to be lesbain, and thus extremely unlikely to be a love interest for the reoccuring males, to gain acceptance?
