All this wank reflects badly on Show

So RL and work have been taking up all my time.  *gasp!*  I haven't had much time to read anything on LJ other than a few odd posts here and there. 

I've seen various references to a new wank going on.  Seems to be about SPN and misogyny.  And I may have caught a whiff of something about Dean calling Bela or Ruby (can't remember which) a "skank."

I was actually kinda glad that I didn't have much LJ time because I figured I didn't need to hear about a wank right now. 

But then I stumbled across this comment in someone's post:

"Having said all this, I don't watch SPN, but if what I think people said about the show is true, it really disturbed me. And I was a bit surprised, without some huge moral story with the anvil of non-subtlety that the 'hero' could say those things on US television."

This comment just worried me.  The LJ I found this on was not someone who was an SPN viewer but was commenting on the recent wank in SPN.  She was discussing political correctness.

Here's a discussion going on that's leading folks to think SHOW is a bad.  That it's disturbing.  That it hates women.

I definitely do not want to get into a debate on whether SPN is misogynistic or not.  But I don't like folks that have never seen SPN to assume the show is all about women-hating heroes. 

It's amazing how impressions people take from both written and spoken language are interpreted so many different ways.

hmmm.

In a way, that's the root cause of all my angst around work lately!

People.  Can't live with 'em.  Can't live without  'em.  *winks*

RL Update

Been mostly off of LJ for a couple of days due to work and family stuff.

( Cut for RL stuff.... )

I miss SPN.  But also?  I'm kinda glad the summer hiatus is starting.  I feel like I have to catch my breath.  Plus I have so many DVDs to catch up on.  Still need to S2-S4 of Six Feet Under.

I'm still going through S1 of Mary Tyler Moore.  Although I really wouldn't watch any 30-min sitcoms today--I do kinda miss being able to sit down and enjoy a light-hearted 30-min break from reality.  I realized last night as I watched another episode that any show I watch these days is 60-mins and tends to be angtsy, dark, or action-packed.   I don't really watch comedies any more.  Maybe I need to.  And because the few current shows I watch are 60 min & intense, I always feel like I need to set aside a "significant" segment of time to devote to watching it and then digesting/discussing it.  No quick, 30-min injections of amusement.

I took some pain medication for my knee and am feeling a little loopy.  *AND* I'm feeling guilty for calling in sick to work.  Even though I am-because of my knee.  Even though I worked 14 hours on both Monday and Tuesday.  *is lame and obsessive*  Why can't I cut myself the same slack I cut others?

Sorry.  Didn't meant to circle back to work. 

I want my SPN magazine to arrive.  I know I can read scans online.  But I want to read it first in my hands.  Now that's strange for me.  I'm usually all about online reading.
