Vid of the Day:

sokkpuppet's Supernatural Fanvid This Woman's Work. Discussion here.

It's about the representation of women in the show. As commentators say:

"Part of my head, the part that adores Supernatural and the boys was (is) sputtering, "but there's so much more there!" However, as time passes, the calmer part of my head reminds me -- just because there's more there, doesn't mean that that negates the violent and brutal images and scenes showcased in Women's Work. It doesn't. It can't." - butterfly

"women's suffering continues to be the *impetus* for the story while men's suffering *is* the story" - coffeandlink
