It’s Not Sexual Assault If It's Against A Man

This topic has been on the podcast idea list for a while. As usually happens, an event brings the need for discussion to the forefront. Sandra and Karlee are talking about Sam and Dean, how they’ve been sexualized and experienced harassment and assault in the Supernatural universe, and how it’s treated and viewed. Mainly the different ways it would be looked upon if gender was reversed in the situations.

The spark for the episode - Then and Now podcast “Red Sky at Morning” fallout.
