CERSEI, DAENERYS, ARYA, Sansa, Brienne, Yara, Lyanna Mormont…

The sixth season of Game of Thrones has undoubtedly been the season of the women.

As we still reel from the revelations from this week’s finale (R+L=J anyone? And poor Margaery?) it’s clear that after several seasons of fairly robust criticism of the treatment and portrayal of female characters in the show, the tide has started to turn.

Game of thrones 6 ended with a queen in Westeros, a dragon queen coming her way, women in the north exacting revenge. #win for equality

The most realistic thing about Game of Thrones is how the women are all superior to the men.

Cersei unleashed her wildfire in a blaze of victory and horror (although she took Margaery down with her) and has us all thinking WHAT WILL SHE DO IN SEASON 7?

I can't help it, man, I know she's evil and a monster but I always *kinda* root for Cersei

i just woke up and remembered cersei lannister is the queen of westeros, and not by marriage to some disgusting douche, but by her own doing

Arya took her revenge over Walder Frey and struck another name off her kill list. Who’s next?

And so on and so on. So many of the gut wrenching storylines we’ve been left to cling to while we wait for the next season (fly, time, fly!) have strong women at their helm.

#GameOfThrones is becoming a feminist thing,
Women taking over everything..
Was always puzzled by
Valar Morghulis- "All men must die"

George R.R. Martin stops writing Game Of Thrones and suddenly all of the women are bold badass rulers. Fight me, it's a better show now.
