I mean, yes, Rhaenyra was very foolish and made a lot of mistakes, but that doesn't change the fact that her main problem was being a woman

There are literally comments that highlight exactly that:

- "It doesn't matter if she’s Jaehaerys reborn again; Rhaenyra is a woman."

- "The lords would burn the kingdom down before seeing a woman on the throne."

- "A woman cannot rule."

- "She is a woman."

- "Her intentions are good, but the kingdom needs a king."

I don't understand how people can deny that being a woman is a burden Rhaenyra carries throughout her story. Even Rhaenyra herself is misogynistic—even toward herself—yet for some reason, the audience simply ignores it.

I mean, it’s supposed to be a central theme of the series.

POOR SHEEPSTEALER

Leave him alone; he only wanted to steal sheep and protect Rhaena.

I’m new to this app and have been a fan of the ASOIAF universe for a few years.

I was checking out some other subreddits and was shocked; the way people talk there is almost disgusting—they’re derogatory and incredibly misogynistic. I get not liking female characters, but they literally just reduce them to sexist jokes; can’t they just criticize them without stooping to that level?

This is the most normal subreddit I’ve found so far.

Edit: Sorry, English isn't my first language, and since I'm not always sure about certain words, I check a translator. I apologize if I'm not making myself clear.
