Hah, going by the tumblr fandom of that show I thought that those two were the main characters because 98% of posts are gifsets of lingering Destiel looks. And the show does seem to be aware of that and milking it, too. ("See, he has this weakness. He likes you." - Uh-hu, series, "likes").

No, it doesn't make sense. I'd have hoped that a series that self-aware'd treat its fanbase with more respect. But given their track record with their female characters and general misogyny issues I guess it's not surprising that they don't? IDEK. It's why I don't understand who this is for, because this in-universe hostility at women seems odd if it's not a sort of "keep out" sign. It seems more self-aware than in old schooly adventure novels in which women simply don't exist at all.
