I wasn't sure whether they thought the Hammer of Witches was a grimoire, which would be incredibly stupid for people who started out to do Joseph Campbell's hero journey, or whether they truly did equate Dean with the folks who wrote a treatise on why it was okay to kill old widows and seize their land.
But they did seem to lose all interest in their original concept around the middle of season two. It would be worth figuring out what happened--it was right when they changed their minds about having Ava be a cute foil for Sam and decided to make her evil and dead instead. Until then, they weren't very woman-friendly, but it was well within the bounds of normal horror-fic. Now it is strictly slasher stuff and really distasteful. Old drum, still banging it. I always say I will stop watching and just read fic, but I keep coming back hoping they will right their boat. But they never do.
