You all have a very strange way of looking at the world.
If this was a fantasy novel and the orcs were oppressing their slave elves, would you complain that the rebels are teaching the elves that they are inferior when they point out the fact that the elves are enslaved?
Women
are inferior in our society. That's not even a debate, it's a fact. It used to be incredibly overt: they literally weren't allowed to vote for most of the history of democracy.
But now it's a lot more subtle stuff ... like this article. If you're male, as I am, you can watch the most popular show on TV and see multiple stories about a man who fucks up, then becomes a better person and redeems himself. Similarly, you can see such stories repeated all over popular media (eg. Avengers). But if you're a women, you can't.
Now you can't on one hand say that doesn't matter, and then at the same time talk about how significant Game of Thrones is for our culture. It
matters that half our society doesn't get stories to look up to. And if you truly love your wives/daughters whoever you should want them to get to have characters they can look to in stories just like you have.

I already debunked this "very valid point". Melisandre has one of the most comprehensive redemption arc. And between shireen and renly she probably had the deepest pit to scrawl out from.

Please. Do you even understand what a redemption arc is? Hint: it's what Theo got (a story) and not what Melisandre got (nothing).
