Supernatural and female representation

This article sums it up pretty good: Why fans are upset about the supernatural nerd HQ

The answer 'We don't need more woman in Supernatural because we don't need romance' exactly proves a point I tried to make in an argument a few weeks ago.
We need more women in tv shows, movies, etc., because whenever there's a female character, you know exactly there's a reason why she is there. And the reason is almost ALWAYS in connection with her gender. Most of the times the reason is one of the following things: a. she's a love interest. b. she's a motherly figure to the male character, or c. she gets fridged to motivate the male character.
(Charlie is an exception to this rule and I really love supernatural for this character  )
I want to see more woman in tvshows, just because they're fucking human beings who make up 50% of the population and have lifes and jobs! Where are the female police officers, the doctors, hunters, etc.? If it doesn't matter at all which gender a character is, why is he most of the times male? Doesn't make sense to me at all...

"Why do I feel the need to continually apologise for everything I do? If this is the case, and this is how I feel, am I essentially apologising for breathing the air I breathe and taking up the space that I do in this world?"


It feels so good when someone else puts your feelings in words much better than you yourself could ever do...

Should feel whole
But the void
A silent storm

I'm here to us my heart and my hands
Somhow the bruises changed my plans

And there's a silent storm inside me
Looking for a home
I hope that somone's gonna find me
And say that I belong
I'll wait forever and a lifetime
To find I'm not alone
There's a silent storm inside meh
One day I'll be calm....

"I'm still depressed, but how depressed I am varies, which is good. Much of the time, it's a comfortable numbness that just makes things feel muted.
Other times, I'm standing in the shower or something and I can feel the nothingness hurtling toward me at eigth thousand miles per hour and there's nothing I can really do aside from let it happen and wait until it goes away again."
