Oh, I'm only wiling to cut him a teensy bit of slack when he's reacting that way to demons. If he's just being sexist in general- like calling Jamie a "bar wench" in "Monster Movie"- I'm as annoyed with him as I am at the writers, if not more so (I wouldn't be that fond of him if he were a real person either, which makes me sad). And I'm rarely not annoyed at the writers because they so infrequently call him on his behavior (and even when they do deconstruct his masculine-insecurity issues, they never connect that baggage to how he treats women as an adult). They've done a mite bit better in some recent episodes at calling Dean on his behavior, I've noticed- frex, Ruby firing back "dick" at Dean multiple times and telling him not to call her a bitch; Sam explaining that Dean was being targeted by the ghost in "Yellow Fever" because he's a dick- but they don't do nearly enough for my taste.
