And yet Jaime tells Brienne, "they'd have to kill me first." Brienne too put up a fight. Tyrion refused to rape Sansa on their wedding night.

It's driving me mad because I've very opposed to religious fundamentalism. She's playing with fire. But then the season started off with her witch's prophecy and the funeral of her father. She's been driven to stupidity over being sidelined by Margaery. She lost Joffrey and Myrcella was sent away.

Jaimes told Brienne "they'd have to kill me first."

This reeks of an overreaction to feminism.

All of the "rape minimizers" are kind of funny and predictable. Are they like Jaime and have double standards "I'd make them kill me" while Brienne should lay back and try to enjoy it? Are they trolling the PC-types? Or have they suffered rape and shrugged it off? Or do they really don't believe it's a big deal out of…

Do you remember the conversation Jaime and Brienne had? As Jaime told Brienne, I'd make them kill me.

I don't know. If someone was going to rape you, would you care if they ripped off your pants or let you take them off yourself?

If Littlefinger had told her of this plan back in the Vale, she probably would have said no.

I don't know. Littlefinger didn't tell her where they were going until Moat Cailin. He kind of forced her into the marriage. She wasn't happy with the idea.

Except Tyrion told his father he wouldn't rape Sansa. Seems like a gray area.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. For some people it does ruin their lives. I think it's like PTSD. Some people come back from war fine. Others can't handle it and are a mess.

It would have been sanctioned by Roose unless he wanted to keep Sansa happy as the North backs her not the Boltons (this was less of a consideration for Tywin). We'll see what happens with an unhappy Sansa. I bet she turns on Littlefinger as well.

Littlefinger set up Sansa by not telling her until they were at Moat Cailin. Tyrion provides the counterexamples to your conviction that Ramsay was in the right. Roose could have said we want to keep Sansa happy and so won't follow tradition. As Tyrion shows the tradition isn't as iron law as you make it out to be…

I don't get your point. I doubt Khaleesi would be into raping. She didn't seem to have fun on her wedding night and she stopped the Dothraki from raping the Lamb people.

The alternative is that Roose tells Ramsay not to hurt Sansa because she is the key to the North and they don't want to upset Littlefinger, Sansa's patron. Ramsay obeys Roose, at least for now.

What would save the Sansa storyline is if Sansa finally snaps.

The North is loyal to the Starks. The North Remembers. The people of the Vale aren't loyal to the Starks.

TV LF tells his escort that if they better piss now because they will be making few if any stops on the way back to the Vale.

I doubt Khaleesi will allow her new Mereenese husband to rape her on their wedding night.
