If reports are to believe, thousands of people have lost incredible game end Thrones this week; disabled in its mass and brutal misogynistic interpretation of the number of women.
Why should you want to turn off, is beyond me.
This is a show that still offers a fascinating display time; complex stories; and the female characters from all walks of life - that (and I mathematics) should always pass the test of Bechdel.
We speak of this rare breed: a television program, the women as well rounded. A program that says that wars are not all about the male actors can and his workers.

• What will happen in Season 6?
When Cersei Lannister said: "If you play the game of thrones, you win or you die."
The female characters are more likely to be subjected to this brutal treatment than their male counterparts - in many ways the epitome of equality.
Those citing the abuse of women can show several terrible events. But the breaking point seems to have kept the brutal rape of Sansa Stark by Ramsay Bolton in the night of their arranged marriage.
Defend explains the inclusion of the scene of the rape, Game of Thrones author George RR Martin, that the exclusion of sexual violence by a story about the war was "fundamentally dishonest".
He added: "Rape, unfortunately, still a part of today's war There is a strong proof of the humanity, but do not think that we pretend it does not exist .."

There is much to say about this argument. Yes, women in Game of Thrones "are punished." But when the girls lost, forced marriage or injuries in the battle, why should they be ignored?
For more than a week after this horrible scene, the use of rape as a war in bedrooms, offices and bars, who live all over the world were discussed. Finally a conversation that went on to sexual violence against women (although in a great setting). Should be a good thing.
Game of Thrones is hidden by the effects of war on women, a light on it. The countless films about modern warfare - to portray the women weepily leave of her brave soldier and weepily jumping on his chest / CAE beloved post-fight - could learn a lot.
Martin said talk some more about his interpretation of the Middle Ages:
"Most of the stories illustrate what I call Disneyland Middle Ages -. There are princes and princesses and knights in shining armor, but do not want to show that these companies want and how it works"
In Game of Thrones these signs only in two dimensions not we see. No women sit in the towers, embriodering with a tear her fall gently on the cheek.
There are various, complex characters, men and women, which is probably why he got almost as diverse as its fan base list of characters - something fantastic shows can not boast.
In the area of women can single women, wives, mothers and daughters witches teenage killers, warriors, queens and ladies of trusted advisors, handlers -maîtres, political genius.
And surprise - sometimes playing more than one role.
They are also given fantastic stories. Daenerys with a married mother of dragons was organized; Arya a frustrated child frightening killer.
Generally when these women damaged looking angry revenge. Many of them are ambitious. They are a driving force.

One argument states that people who will have this driving force or the "Agency" then punished for it - it is only safe if you play by the rules of men. This would probably be a pretty honest picture of the situation of women in the Middle Ages. But it does not ring true.
Well, sometimes when women work hard or go get a "worthy." So men. As a rule, during wartime, when someone acts with the agency, unless you are the winner, you're probably going to pay his life for them and probably.
(Incidentally, it is interesting to note that in contrast, the female characters have a strange talent to survive everything from treason to bloody sword fights, also whip poison antidote niftily departments).
If women for equality search in the coverage of the war and the story should come right rough.
As an insult, because it can be seen, women portrayed only as princesses wait in the tower, not just strip the alternative badasses be Taylor Swift models, the transmitted power simply because they are women and dared to try.
We do not want two dimensions - we endlessly. And it says something about the situation of women on television, such as Game of Thrones, a show based on imagination, has the occupation of the most complex and diverse female characters on the screen. From the front in the war room; Castle Camps and - yes - the bedroom; There are women everywhere.
Gosh, it's just like real life.

In Game of Thrones, the destinies of women on an equal footing with men. And the thing with a level playing field is that sometimes there is a crush injury.
You amazing fights as men (wage war with Jon Snow White Walkers - Internet Daenerys is mad rushes into a dragon -. Internet goes crazy). You devastating and brutal beatings (Sansa is married and raped - we are appalled Jon Snow is betrayed by men, he put his life on the line -. We are shocked).
As always, the maid Brienne of Tarth it best -... Now, Gwendolyn Christie actress plays "The women were terrible in the history of men have treated the people what this program is carried out, is a light in women and an exploration of the female characters seldom been addressed - and I welcome that. "
For women, the winners, the victims and to be anything else, we should all applaud Game of Thrones.
