Two extra thoughts about 5.17

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. :(

I don’t even think Dean thinks he’s wrong – as he said in Scarecrow he’s actually proud of Sam for standing up to their dad like that.

THIS. Dean's just not having a good time right now and everything is getting under his skin, everything is going to make him feel insecure and unsure of himself. I'm trying not to worry though because he has Sam and Sam's learned a heck of a lot from what happened last season and I think he'll be able to use his mistakes to make this better. I HOPE.
