What is that rule? The one that says that any comment section in an article on feminism is proof that feminism is still needed?

I once saw a straight white Republican refer to himself as a TERF. It hurt my brain.

I had the same thought. I’ve seen so much of the same kind of sentiment in the queer community, and it’s painful how hard most cis gays and lesbians work to avoid talking about it. Not to mention, how ignorant most folks are about the history of cis lesbians teaming up with social conservatives to crap on trans folks.…

Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want.

No because I didn’t say I’m not happy. If it impaired our ability to function or made my eye wander then it’s an issue. Part of being in a mature relationship is understanding how to communicate your needs to one another. Do I wish he gushed like this? Sure, but I also know some of it is rooted in flattery. I was…

My boyfriend and I are in a loving committed relationship but his ‘love language/style’ is not like this and i can’t help but feel really jealous that i won’t know what that’s like. My boyfriend loves me and he shows it, but not like this. So. I’m still jaded.

Welp, I’ve never felt more alone or single in my life. Thanks Ted!

You’re supposed to be bothered by it: it shows how desperate their situation is now. I think that’s the thing that actually rammed it home for the Lords of the North: you could see their collective “Oh, shit,” expression when Jon said that.

Yup. It’s unfortunate that that’s how bad things are at this point in the story, but a 10 year old with a sword and at least a sliver of a chance against a zombie is better than the alternative. Also, kids in this story are placed in positions of responsibility much younger than we would dream of in real life. It’s…

I didn’t hate the Ed Sheeran cameo (and it was cool to have him sing that easter egg* of a song), but it was really noticeable and jarring. Like others have said, this wasn’t just someone in the background as a musician (as with other singers who have shown up that way in the series) - he was front and center, with…

I don’t think that means they’re going to force women to the front lines, just that they don’t want anyone left entirely helpless when the zombies come barging through their doors. I could be wrong.

She’s not evil at all. She’s practical, harsh at times, and frustrated at being dismissed. She’s lived surrounded by enemies for pretty much the whole show up to this point, and she’s learned from it. That doesn’t means she’s going to be a “next Cersei,” it means she’s been paying attention and has opinions.

Danys house is literally all about incest that would not bother her

His actor was at the premier. Hopefully they’re not just taunting me...

Arya’s ruthless dispatching of House Frey was smooth as silk and I loved all of it.

I didn’t at all. Mine even started like a minute or two early. Of course, if it had started fucking up, I’d have been ripshit pissed as well.

“which has mostly relied on relatively unknown actors to great success”

I totally disagree about the pace. This was the liveliest and best paced premiere I can remember in ages. For a show that, in the past, had characters wander around for entire seasons, it finally feels like every storyline has a purpose and dramatic forward movement. Thank god.

The shit talking in this episode was A++. Arya saying winter came for house fray both uses the house motto of Stark while also sort of declaring herself as a force of nature. Ice cold queen. Also her internal dialogue being skewed isnt that bad considering she saw her dad get beheaded... dealed with all type of dark…

And it looks like Nymeria is coming back, so maybe Arya will be a bad ass assassin with a dire wolf, in case she wasn’t already intimidating enough.
