Great article, thanks for the link (and sorry you fear women so much you feel attacked by the article's completely valid point).
You're better than that. Thinking the article is hot garbage is in no way fear of women.

Terrible things happen to both women and men in the show. But as much as she mentions rape and the #metoo movement, she conveniently leaves out that Gendry was sexually assaulted and raped by Melisandre. And nobody even gave a shit. Nobody cared. Contrast that to how people reacted to Sansa. And her point about Theon didn't make sense either, because she didn't understand the scene and the fact that Theon was a stand-in for the audience, not that the scene was about Theon.

Or perhaps we could talk about the jokes made at the expense of the eunuchs of the show, like Varys, Theon, and the Unsullied. Can you even imagine the uproar if female genital mutilation was used as joke fodder? They'd burn the studio down.

The whole article just came across as agenda-pushing.
