owlmoose: stack of books (book - pile)

More thoughtfully... I do believe that there is room to make good and interesting feminist critiques around ASoIaF, especially as regards the characterization of Cersei (more of an issue in the books, especially the later books, than in the show so far). But to examine the behavior of specific female characters at this level of detail, to be this selective about which ones you choose, and to measure them by such specific cultural sensibilities, is what strikes me as reductionist. Looking at small pieces rather than the whole.
