I didn't see the Dean vs. Ruby fight as particularly sexist, despite his dialogue. He has been consistent in reacting to Ruby as a DEMON despite the gendered insults. Plus, she was totally badass and not a victim, which is almost a first for the show.
But Bela's arc was very badly handled. She had great potential and I quite liked the character concept. She was also very well acted. There could have been great explorations of class issues and the Winchester mission vs. self-interest that were totally ignored by the writers. What a waste.
