Agreed 100% with how this show and the book presents rape. It’s disgusting and irresponsible.

Who cares how medieval society felt about marital duties or rape or whatever. There are plenty of stories of women abandoning their marriages and families, desperate to get away to live a life of chastity in convents, because of the abuses they suffered at the hands of their husbands. It may not have been labeled as…

“Aggressive sex”. “Unwanted sex”. The mental gymnastics in this thread and the phrases being used here are making my head spin. It’s not rape rape, right? Light rape. Diet rape.

As brilliant as grrm when it comes to portraying women reacting to rape? Give me a fucking break.

No, understanding the long term impact of sexual assault is not a recent thing. We may have recent psychological and medical terms for insurance reasons but look into medieval diaries and such and you will find people who survived assault and were more than able to link the two.

Her breasts are defying gravity. It doesn’t matter how young you are...breasts just don’t do that.

This whole thing is horrifying to me.

Not sure why everyone decides to jump to the absolute worst interpretation of it. Married couples share their income.

They’re married. They share the income.

Not really seeing a problem here?

I shall follow you into the darkness.

Hmmm? Is that what I’m attempting?

Me, too yo. I just don’t like her and she seems unkind so I dropped that shit on the internet.

He is not cute.

Old married man hooks up with 20 year old? How original, jesus.

I feel like I would stand up and shout about it to everyone around me and point fingers and all his fun would be ruined.

Oh, I assumed you were making big googly eyes at her boobs. Then the heart was the sex. Then that was a sheep to signify falling asleep right after. Your actual meaning is so much nicer than my interpretation.

Wait, what? Really?

Howling from laughter.

DEAD.
