re: Let’s face it, GoT has gone over the top with the feminism

women rule, literally everywhere in Westeros

And in TWD, and increasingly elsewhere.

I've said, the entertainment industry is going ahead as if Hillary had won.

And what actual world leaders are helping to destroy their own countries? You guessed it.

Every single major female character has rose to the top. What are the odds of that.

Better than the odds of you knowing the past participle of rise.

The “Dumb Dad” trope has been ever-present since the 1950s.

I know very little about GoT, but it’s crazy to say that Hollywood has been in any way opposed to feminism. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Now that is how you move the goalposts.

Let's be honest here. Up until about 5-10 years ago 90% of all Screen entertainment was male dominated. That's a lot of screen time for only half the population. now it's probably closer to 75%. Which is still way more than represented in the population.

Not any reason for people to lose their shite over even slightly....yet here we are.

Dany is very protective of her royal claim. She isn’t giving up any power unless she is forced to.

If I’m Bran, I would have waited until after the fight with the white walkers to tell Jon Snow. No need for this potential division beforehand. And if I’m Jon Snow, I’d still frick my aunt. She is looking real good.

Really? Because other then Micchone and Alpha there's not women leaders. It's like some of y'alls minds can't comprehend the idea of a woman ruler.

Do you remember the exact moment you became a snowflake bitch?

And to draw a parallel to actual English history, the War of the Roses wiped out so many noblemen of both sides that the eventual victor, Henry VII, has barely any royal blood at all. During his reign and his son’s reign, they continued to attack any potential claimants to the throne to the point that eventually England was ruled by two queens in a row, the next in line after them was also a female but she was executed, and then a Scot king took the crown. So I guess fricky things do happen when the men all kill each other off.

I was going to say this as well. You had some pretty powerful women woven in that period of England.

Hell, just a little ways down the York/Lancaster/Tudor line we ended up with one of England’s greatest reigning monarchs (Elizabeth I) because Henry VIII kept lopping off the heads of wives and his only living male heir kicked the bucket.
