I am home, safe and sound. Tomorrow there will be a big-ass post about how I met a Harcum college student who is secretly Superman, hate SEPTA workers, hate Amtrak, didn't get to the hotel until 3 am, lived on Twizzlers and Coke, pulled muscles, met my brother's girlfriend again, watched my brother graduate, and generally had the two days that never fucking ended. I am too tired now to do it.

Also... I'm getting Dean Evans as a thesis adviser (and presumably first reader), what? Baffled chasingtides is baffled.

But... would someone please explain the feminism wank in the Supernatural fandom? It seems to be reaching massively epic proportions and I'm still baffled. It could be lack of sleep, but... baffled. Maybe you could use small words? I dunno. But this whole OMGtheyallhatewomynsOMG and this whole issue with Malleus Maleficarum (where my biggest issue was the fact that WTF that ain't Sturbridge)... what? I am so, so lost.

Ok. That makes a bit more sense.

Fandom always harshes you squee. But, the part I'm having trouble with is - why now? How is this season any worse to women (in an not-research-driven-way) than any other season? Personally, I think season one was pretty harsh on women. Then again, I was around for season one, so maybe there was meta/concerns/what-have-you.

Uh, I'll add you to that filter. Check out my list of links, especially trollprincess. But they're all worth looking at, IMO.
