The real meaning of saving Wayward Sisters

So, we are trying to save the Wayward Sisters TV show.

And you might think: yeah, right, another show related to Supernatural and your crazy TV family so you can keep watching telly and posting funny memes of the Winchesters and those other fellas…

But, what if I told you that this fight is not about Supernatural and the family (not entirely anyway), but it’s about saving a show that tells the story of women supporting and loving other women, creating a unique connection based on trust and the idea of equality. Because I’ll tell you something: Dean Winchester is hot, no doubt, but Sheriff Jodi Mills (portrayed by Kim Rhodes) is a bad ass hunter and a mother and we all know that women and mothers have supported the most of the heavy loads in history, so, to be honest, if I was a monster, I wouldn’t like to face Jodi Mills in an dark alley.

What make this show unique and special are the characters. They are the reflection of the women of this century: hardworking women, well trained and capable of living a full life, supporting themselves and their families, working hard to reach back the role in society and history that has been taken. Women able to do a man’s job as well (if not even better). Beautiful human beings, strong and flexible, loving and caring, fearful of losing their children, but confident that they have prepared them for life.

This is a show about monsters, yes, but its characters are real people taken from real life, with real fears and real joys.  These are real women. Strong, fierce. Wayward as fuck.

We need to save this TV show for the meaning of these characters. They are us, women living, working and fighting in a men’s world. We have improved our situation in Europe and America during the last century, but the situation of others is not even close to what is right, and what are our rights as human beings. The salaries and the workload between men and women are far from equal, not only in the working market, but also in the privacy of their houses. In 2015, it was found that two-thirds of world's illiterate adults were women. Unfortunately, that stigma prevails through generations: even when the access to Education is being granted, the lack of confidence among women will make hard for them to accept it.

And, regarding to grant the access to Education, Kim Rhodes and Briana Buckmaster (whose character is the sweet and loving Donna Hanscum), launched a campaign, in collaboration with Random Acts: “Dreams 2 Acts Nicaragua project” (https://nicaragua.randomacts.org/).

We need to save the Wayward Sisters TV show to prove that we are not pretty ornaments anymore. We need to show that we are fighting for other sisters who are not as lucky as we are. We need to remember the World that we are not going to forget the forgotten. This show means that it is possible to have real women in television,  that, finally, we are ready to overcome the stereotype of women who can only succeed and survive if they are mean and heartless, o brainless and meek. We are not taking those roles anymore. And we are not letting others to put us in the corner.

We need to save the Wayward Sisters because this show is another tool for women to fight for our rights. Because is another way to change the world and make it better and fairer, for everyone. We need to prove that we don’t want those women characters created to fill gaps anymore. That is not us.

We need to save the Wayward sisters because if not, it will mean that this Eastern society is not as fair as it claims and I refuse to believe that there is no hope.

Because I am a wayward daughter as fuck.
