Two extra thoughts about 5.17

[ratherastory]

Back home, and I think LJ is letting me post again...

So why is it that when SAM wants to have a normal life and a family, it's wrong and selfish and hurtful to his family, but when DEAN wants it everyone goes "AAAAAAAWWWWW!"

Is it because Sam actually tried to get it for himself, whereas Dean is apparently willing to throw himself on the proverbial grenade? What?

The double-standard makes me sad.

:(


Also, I am SERIOUSLY ANNOYED by the Whore of Babylon thing. Come on, SPN. You can stop being so blatantly misogynistic any day now. :(

The double-standards annoy me all the time. I mean, everyone is trying to make Sam the bad guy and blame him for everything and it annoys me to hell and makes me all protective of sweet nice Sammy.

Grr.

I *know* that Sam made mistakes, but I would really like it if there was a minimal effort to empathize with the boy. :(
