Male audiences may be forced to acclimate to seeing more female protagonists - but as The Hunger Games has proven, men (and boys) WILL flock to a well-done film with a female lead. Thus the dowager's manipulations bring about the slaughter. They are the new Mcarthies, Hoovers and Fawells of this age. May 6, 2013 - Game of thrones sidesteps this question, mostly, by casting a large woman for Brianne of Tarth, and realistically showing some of the bigotry such a soldier would likely endure. Do they just not see merit in a story that doesn't conform to the male template? Apr 17, 2012 - Men still vastly outnumber women in everything from film festival programmers, Academy Award members, screenwriting contest judges, and Hollywood executives with the power to finance movies. Toe the party line or be tossed out. Yes, it conforms to body shape. Considering the widespread use of thrusting weapons during the heyday of Greek and Roman power, it would only be logical that the actual armorers and armies would have made some changes had they been a significant liability. Apr 21, 2014 - This week my new book Women in Game of Thrones hits stores. In celebration, I wanted to do a post on Martin's women who didn't make the a stronger claim. Through the story she appears conniving and power-hungry, even as she operates behind the scenes. Barring a new Game of Thrones novel being nominated this year, I doubt there was much that would stop the WoT entry (whether it was just one book or the entire series) from taking the win. In short, the SJW's have become the exaggerated image of the very thing they fight against. Apr 24, 2014 - And also, it's WoT. Women in Game of Thrones: Power, Conformity and Resistance.
