"Most girls are stupid" ›
In last week’s Game of Thrones, Arya told Tywin Lannister that “most girls are stupid.” When we heard that line, were we supposed to think, “This is why Arya is awesome”? After watching The Prince of Winterfell, I can’t help but think that the answer is “yes.” While the books series presents a huge range of dynamic and well-developed female characters, the show writers seem determined to edit the story so that all normal women seem weak and worthy of disdain. Girls, like Arya, who fight to throw off femininity and become “one of the boys,” are the only ones who are really strong or worthy of respect.
Although some of the show’s changes to the story have been positive and potentially even improve on the novel, many edits in the last few episodes have reduced the series’ selection of varied, challenging female characters into cliches and walking confirmation of the idea that “most women suck.”
A woman’s strength is the irresistible might of weakness

The women are the strong ones, truly.

…all of the women in Game of Thrones, irrespective of whether they’re noble, whether they are highborn, whether they are prostitutes or servants, whether they’re wildlings, you name it, they’re all extremely strong, every single one of them, they have a reason to be strong because it is very much a mans’ world and they have to exist within it and sometimes to be in that world you have to start behaving like a man or operating like a man. Thinking like a man but with a women’s spin on it.
