Top 5 Beloved Cultural Icons Way More Misogynist Than Trump

3. Game of Thrones

If you’ve watched this riveting series like millions of people around the world, at one point or another you’ve said, “That George R.R. Martin is one sick and twisted puppy.”

The women in this epic tale are treated so badly so often that it has gotten to the point of losing its shock value. Naked women are strewn around the sets as props in this soft porn saga, and the only character to treat a whore with dignity, Tyrion Lannister, was betrayed by her and sentenced to death.

In fairness, victimhood abounds in Game of Thrones, and the protagonists occasionally avenge the injured. The producers have tried to provide some balance by showing women as sexual predators as well. But does the show not desensitize us to sexual assault?

Game of Thrones is a power struggle by definition, and sexual abuse is almost always perpetrated by those with power.
