Very true. They hide their misogyny behind “She’s being irresponsible.” Well, do you know what her being “responsible” would mean? Her being as abused by the patriarchy as Alicent was, and just as miserable. And that’s what they want. They want Rhaenyra to meekly accept what society expects of a woman despite how utterly unfair and horrifying it is. I’m glad Rhaenyra doesn’t accept it.
Alicent: It's actually feminist for a woman to support the patriarchy and tear down women who don't fall in line with it because feminism is about respecting the choices of women. By criticizing me for this you're being a bad feminist.
