I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I posted this on FB but I think it's notable.

I wasn't as disappointed with the GoT finale as some people.
However, tell me where the lie is in my scorecard:
Number of women who wrote an episode of Game of Thrones: 2 women wrote four episodes of the entire run of 73 episodes. (Jane Espenson FTW!)
Number of women who directed an episode of Game of Thrones: 1 woman directed 4 episodes of the entire run of 73 episodes
Male characters who committed horrible acts who had redemptive arcs: Tyrion, Jaime, Theon, Jorah
Female characters who were empowered who had to die horrible deaths: Cersei, Daenerys, Ellaria, Oleanna, Margaery, Caetlyn
Female characters who had to die because they were "crazy bitches": Cersei, Daenerys
Female characters who were killed because they were "whores": Ros, Shae, Tysha (Tyrion's first love)
Male characters who survived who went to whorehouses: Bronn, Tyrion, Podrick
To be fair, male characters who were castrated (stem and root): Varys, Theon, Grey Worm, The Unsullied (frankly an incredibly stupid idea for soldiers).
(For those of you unfamiliar with the history of castration, it's been fairly unusual to "dock" or cut off the penis as it leads to constant urinary tract infections and piddling in your pants. Historically they just take the testicles. Yes, I'm saying GRRM has a fucking issue that Freud would be delighted to discuss.)

What theodosia said.
Also I see that having a dribbling eunuch in the house would be messy and unsuitable.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

To be fair, I'd argue that an obsession with dicks is not counterindicated by an all-male writers room.

That's true. But most guys obsessing about dicks don't want them cut off.

I would bet cash money that as a narrative device, "and also his penis was TRAGICALLY MISSING" occurs more often when a dude is writing.

I don't know. Seems like a lot of women fantasize about cutting off tallywhackers.
Then again, you've got Hemingway in your corner.

That's why God made poison.
