A. There are way more male characters than female characters, so even if there are more male deaths than female deaths it still can be disproportionate. As I said above, look at the angels. How many were/are female? How many still alive are female? (Whether or not male angels died, that doesn't negate the fact that there was only one female angel and she died early.)

B. Look at the deaths. Bela, Dean, and Bobby all were supposed to go to hell. Which of the three was still in Hell last I checked? Which was saved by an angel? (Obviously Dean was never going to stay dead.) Which managed to get out of his deal? And even when Bobby died, he hung around as a ghost.

C. Look at the characters. Male characters dominate everything. In fact, things that Anna was supposed to do were given to Castiel. Also, Supernatural managed to make an episode without a single freaking female character in it. 11 male ones, though. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1222603/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast ) This should not happen in a show that is not set somewhere like a prison or something. So, yes, there are some misogynistic tendencies.

I can understand still liking the show. I can see what the appealing elements are. I cannot understand being blind to the problem the show has with women.
