I have issues. And I have neeeeeeds.
I was actually pumped to hear the S3 spoilers about the boys meeting up with two new female characters, because, hi! Femslash for the show! More het! There is no downside here. I was even, more the fool me, kinda hoping that the female hunter character might have visible strength. I'm not asking for a weightlifter here, but maybe the physique of a runner or a swimmer. I was even thinking that maybe Kripke and co might take the opportunity to incorporate more people of color into the show. (And yeah, I know that SPN is actually more diverse than most of TV.)
Yeah, um, not so much. And I understand, it's TV, they're playing to Peoria, whatever. We're in a country where America Ferrera and Sara Ramirez are considered fat. It's a TV culture where the average-looking guy is always special and gets the hot girl, and the reverse (like Ugly Betty) is revolutionary. That's how we roll.
But y'know what? I'm still cranky. I want to see more characters like Lenore or Ellen. I want to see a female hunter who looks like she could fuck your shit up and then go eat some pie. I want to see Sarah Connor doing pullups on her bed. I want belly-padding and wide hips and full cheeks and big butts, more cushion for the pushin', women built for comfort and not for speed.
I want OFC fic! Smut with Dean with curved women whose bellies and thighs are soft enough to cushion his head, who get doublechins when they giggle and who don't fuck around with salad. A big, bold Earth Mama who wears bright colors and probably has to stand on an applebox to make out with either of them, but who won't take any shit. A Rubenesque lush lady who wears red lipstick and high heels and has awesome cleavage, and who struts over and buys Sam tequila. Mmmmm.

As someone who has a very physical career let me just say that it takes supportive underwear to get crap done! You can't be bothered with butt floss. Some people swear by it, but geez it's freakin' distracting! Let active people wear sensible underwear for gods sake.
Does Dean wear a man-kini? No. Why? Because there are other more important things he needs to focus on... like killing the six headed, fire breathing, baby eating monster in front of him. Let the girls have the same common sense.
(And to those of you who swear by thongs. More power to you!)

Dude, totally. I admit I wear low-rise stuff ('cause the only jeans that actually FIT me are low rise, and no one needs to be seeing my underwear over the waistband of my jeans ALL THE TIME[1]) but they'd damn well better be comfy and not all sweaty and riding up.
[1]- Note to the people in the world wearing skinny jeans that they can't actually pull up over their asses so basically ALL of their underwear is hanging out? You are not cute. I do not want to see if your boxers have frogs on them. Sags did not look good when they were saggy, they do not look good now that they look spray-painted on below your knees.

And this is purely my opinion and kinda off topic but I abhore the skinny jean style. It really does nothing to flatter anyone. If you're skinny, you look anerexic. If you've had a sandwich or two in your past, then you look huge. No one wins with skinny jeans.
