The problem with church charity is that it comes with strings attached. (You get some soup, but you must not teach about condoms in sex education). It gives the church influence in those developing countries the harmful consequences of which may well off-set any positive impact of the charity. I can see how one might…

Only in the eyes of misogynists.

Logically that lack of respect should be directed at those guys who came up with the idea, no?

I would also like to thank you for writing out that long reply. I was so annoyed by the comment, I would have just dropped off some drive-by-snark and changed nobody's mind.

It's completely one-sided so far, but his thirst seems real.

I agree that there are many better positions in the office, but the fact that she ended up getting one of those instead is purely accidential (from Bert's perspective). It changes nothing about the fact that Bert's motivation for requesting the reshuffling was racist. He didn't want a black person to be the first…

Sorry, but "Bert is racist" is really the only possible conclusion here. He explicitely pointed out her increased visibility in that position as a reason to move her away from the front office.

I haven't experienced that level of violence, but I'm lucky. A lot of women do. Often at the hands of people they trusted and depend on.

It wouldn't hold up as self defense in front of a modern court, but Viserys repeatedly threatened Daenerys and her baby and I don't see how you can argue that Maergery would have been safe as Joffrey's wife, considering his well-documented psycho-sexual hang-ups.

Big green explosions are comparatively rare, rape isn't.

"The people who need to know them, know them." - I wish I could believe that. Have you read this comment section?

Rape is a lot more common than murder and therefore hits a lot closer to home. I don't get why some people find that so hard to understand.

So in real life, when a woman says no, you just keep going, because who knows, she might be into it after all? If you don't realize this is rape when you see it on TV, why should anyone trust that you'd know when to stop when it happens to you?

You're not the only one and that's depressing.

You can sense the beginning of a rift between them already after the altar-sex-scene, but it's because Cersei rejects his proposal, not because he raped her.

It's not an accent I would recognize, but I'm Austrian.

Also noble. A very heroic death.

Also, the actor may be straight, but he could still play a gay character.

Already shipping him with Felix. They would be very cute. Although I also shipped Felix with that one guy working at the police station.

I think Ragnar is done with Horik, absolutely.
