ust re-watched episode 3 and the amount of dead bodies piled up inside and outside of the castle has to be exponentially more than they even have living people now. Could imagine the nastiness?

You know, as I scroll through those pics it occurs to me the north has a multitude of races, genders and handicaps (and that includes tyrion and his dwarfism). Many of the men are deeply flawed or removed of their masculinity entirely.

The protagonist women have superhuman powers or abilities or they've had very strong masculine traits assign to them. Traits not given to men themselves or as in the case of jaime and the hound, traits systematically taken from them through the course of the show. The men (with the exception of those missing their gentitals) are ambivalent or unsure of themselves.

And then you have Cersei (who minus sansa and who will soon be dead because sansa's traits reflect those of an actual woman) standing alone with a confident and cocky white male.

Look at what the writing had to do to the good guys. Look at the traits that had to be assigned to or taken from them in order to defeat a character who has done nothing more than channel the true nature of a woman.

In GoT, you can't fully self actualize with genitals.
