"Dean undercutting Portia's speech by calling her hot IS annoying and sexist/misogynistic. He's reducing her by commenting on her attractiveness rather than actually addressing her argument. That being said, it's also realistic and THAT'S WHAT GUYS DO! It actually proves that she just won the argument, because Dean has no counter argument for her - the only thing he can do is turn it into a conversation about how hot she is, get the last word in, and hope no one notices that he didn't actually address any of her points."
Well said. This didn't annoy me at all, because it is so realistic. And it's very much in character. Getting the last word in while hoping no one notices he just lost the argument is something we see Dean do pretty regularly.
I was much more irked by Dean's foxhole comment in s7:19 Of Grave Importance. Remarking on Annie Hawkins' sexual encounters he says, "That's a lot of foxholes." Um, no Dean, that's THREE foxholes. You've got no room to judge there, bucko.
And Sam telling Charlie Bradbury "good girl," in The Girl With The D&D Tattoo was kind of rage-inducing for me. :/
