And I remember Kripke wondering where all the X-Files fans were, why they weren't watching his show, and wondering what that show had that his show doesn't. And I though, how dumb can you be? It had Dana Scully. Competent, respected, and needed. Half the universe is female. But Kripke never did the math.

Yow. It's not like X-Files didn't have gender issues all over the place, but in terms of both Scully and various supporting and one shot females, it was miles and miles above the misogyny of SPN.
