I almost put it in my original entry, but decided maybe I should re-watch the ep/scene before I said anything. But I'll go ahead and mention it, with the caveat that upon re-watch I might get something different out of it.
The whole Dean trying to get Castiel laid was tacky and awkward and yeah, whatever. No, what bothered me was the cavalier attitude . . . that read almost like . . . glee? . . . that Dean has toward the fact that absentee fathers play such a large factor in the prostitution industry. That's sad. It's sad that Dean would be glad these girls don't have fathers, thus leading them into an industry where men such as himself can pay them for sex. That just . . . makes me want to cry. My Dean has more compassion than that.
But like I said, I'll have to re-watch and listen for his vocal inflections. Maybe I can convince myself that he's simply stating a fact rather than defending it.
