Feminist Perspectives on 9/11, J. Ann Tickner
#spnresearch#mary winchester#spn#a little. hm. about some points in this essay the way i am with a lot of western scholars talking about 9/11 but it is what it is#and it does put into very simple words some thoughts i have been having#thinking about this other essay i read about how attacks like 9/11 or pearl harbor. exertions of powers. are viewed as#emasculating for america and leading to desire to exert their own power and reaffirm their masculinity#which again relevant to spn. esp as a post-9/11 media#where government inefficiency and people settling into normal nuclear family picket fence lives (seen as becoming complacent and naive)#allow for outside threats to invade through. women as the symbol for peace and domesticity being eradicated#men as the 'protector of their homes' seen as weak and incompetent as they failed in protecting their property#and are emasculated. leading them to pick up arms and reassert their masculinity through exerting power of enemies#(roles are defined through the relation with others. social order. hegemonic masculinity. people being sorted into classes. etc)#i can definitely find a better essay than this one tho#there's this construction of narrative of hero-villain-victim which i believe spn does try to criticise to some extent but ultimately its#belief in and adherence to it stops them

#relevant to the role mary is fridged in in season fourteen imo#she's the Badass Mom now but she still goes to live away from hunting in the woods with her patriarchal structure approved romantic interest#(that she has an interesting age gap with‚ might i add). she talks about how bored she is but there still isn't#any sort of prioritisation of her character now that she's assimilated into her role#mary#lit
