See, I could have lived with "on good days you get to kill the whore of Babylon." That's a person. "A whore"? Okay I get that - semantics changes the contextual meaning and you're right. Not something I'd thought about, but I can completely see it.
t's about what the show consistently does to disempower women, which is connected to your point about reproduction. Here, that worked, in a sense--since Lisa was never a person as far as Dean was concerned I agree with that whole heartedly and I think this idea speaks to the absence of Cassie as well. Yes - if Dean has had a true connection to any woman it would be Cassie. Her very absence - not even a phone call - but Lisa gets a whole scene - speaks to race fail as well as gender fail. I think, show, as writer, made poor choices this ep.
