Why Women Hate Game of Thrones? Wait all the Women I Know Love It

Talk about a way to insult women's intelligence. The article also appears to have been written by a woman that came from the 1950s. 

We hate gross things. Know what’s gross? Screwing your sibling.

Yeah girls hate gross things. All those frogs and blood and stuff. Women should be fainting dead away of the vapors upon hearing about that kind of thing. There is not enough poodle dresses and cotillions on Game of Thrones for this author. Although the Lannister siblings getting it on is pretty damn gross. However, it fits the strange world of Westeros and mirrors our own world quite well. The royals in our world are all a pretty inbred lot.


It’s hard to follow. Brilliantly developed storylines are great, but whipping out a dry erase board and Venn diagrams to figure it all out isn’t our idea of a good time. Unless we’re talking about soap operas. Those are perfectly fine. 

Wow misogynistic much? She just said that the show is too complicated for a woman to follow. I think this statement got into a time machine from 1951 and found its way onto the Internet. I guess this is brought to you from the same women that gave you the "Allergic to Algebra" T-shirts from Forever 21.

It reminds us of the kids that used to play magic cards in the cafeteria. And people who go to Renaissance festivals. Eating a giant drumstick and drinking out of a goblet is cool, just not every Sunday night for three months straight.

Hmm, the Ren Faires I have been to have about the same amount of women as men. It seems that watching Game of Thrones makes a woman "uncool." I guess the author is still waiting for Barry the Football god to pick her up for a couple of malteds at the soda fountain in his jalopy.

It’s all naked chicks. In addition to the actual ladies of the night on the show, there seem to be a lot of...unofficial ladies of the night on the show. This is why guys love it, we get it, but we can do without seeing topless wenches in loin cloths. 

There seems to be about as many men's butts as there is boobs. I have seen far too much of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau wandering around nude. Also the first season was all about Jason Momoa never wearing a shirt the entire time he was on screen. I'm sure this woman gets the vapors whenever she sees herself in the nude.

Dudes get their hands chopped off. And their nipples. And their balls. Really? How is it that you guys like this again? 

It's almost like there are no such things as female trauma surgeons in this woman's idealized 1950s world. What is sad about this article is that Game of Thrones has some of the most powerful and capable female characters on TV anywhere.
