We're not wanking about research or neo-paganism or evil witches. Hell, if you wanted to wank about that the first two seasons do have some material (anthropology student, here). No, what's bothering us [?] is the show's general tone towards women, whether they be human or Other.
Now, show's always been iffy when it comes to sexism and racism, but this season is far worse than we've ever seen before. I think the wank is coming when some fangirls get up in arms about, uh, feminist meta/concerns. Have you read sazzlette's post? I got my own personal version of that the first time I posted about the skanky gender issues this season.
So it's become kind of fraught, if you will.
Does that make sense? Some of us think SPN's treating women horribly, and others are up in arms over people harshing their squee.
