I like Paris partly because she plays the dumb blonde to perfection, but - regardless of whether she's quite as self-aware as she sometimes seems - she makes a great living out of it. It's one way for women to wield power in our society. Not necessary a forward way, but nonetheless... I don't think I could ever be a real part of Supernatural fandom because it just seems to be such a hive for hardcore misogyny of the worst kind, the women being their own worst enemy kind. The other day I saw these truly unfortunate comments someone "what, women aren't a minority, we're 52% of the world's population!" just, ugh. UGH. THIS IS THE REASON WE CAN'T HAVE GOOD THINGS, YOU BRAINWASHED, PATRIARCHY-LOVING BUFFOONS. ....That said there are a lot of great fans who are vocal about the issues but it's just...I just hate that aspect of Supernatural and the fandom soooo much.

Oh I agree she has a very America(/Earth)-centric attitude towards the Pegasus Galaxy but it's not often you have an educated, powerful, in-touch-with-her-emotions-but-not-in-a-stupid-way leader who is a woman. I like fics that have Ford >.>; there should be more of those! I'm trying not to get any more spoiled than I am...been listening to A LOT of podfic though.

AHAHAHA yeah, I have no desire to fly passenger planes, ew. I could totally get my eyes fixed and join the airforce. If I wasn't a pacifist.

RUUUUUN! WOOORK! stayy......tallllk....*lonely*....no, i must sleep.
