[Tumblr, Supernatural, Gender] Interpreting the Female Dean Winchester

I just wrote a long tumblr post on Deanna Winchester, who is chewing on the scenery of my mind in delightful ways that makes me want to write fic. She's wonderfully complicated and complex, growing up in a hypermasculine environment that wants to reinforce society's ideas of femininity on her (through John's misguided, clueless parenting, mostly) but at the same time forces her to reject that femininity in order to survive and be the useful soldier that the Winchester lifestyle calls for.

And then I realized that Deanna Winchester would more or less be Kara Thrace. Complete with special destiny and angry grrl action.
