....the point of her piece is to show she had flawed expectations, no good roadmap, and how that played out and her moving/growing past it...

Yep. I’m 31 and consider myself the oldest side of the millenials, because social media/internet was a huge part of my coming of age years. Got dialup when I was 14. I know that remembering dialup makes me a relative old-timer, but my young adulthood was also dramatically influenced and shaped by the dawning of…

Hahaha yes and those “gonna leave me hanging??” Dudes are usually the same ones who roll over and snooze after cumming without a thought of reciprocation.

I think you read the setup and missed the epiphany.

It’s the ones who like “being treated like women” who are squawking the loudest, you know it.

Exactly!

Cycle back to the only story her mother told her about men- the immense betrayal of discovering her bf masturbating to playboy... And their subsequent breakup.

But when you are that tougher girl and you see the other girls loving being treated that way, you do feel very superior.

Rude in a heartless adolescent way. I think she showed that, and her understanding that it was part of the problem. No one, however saintly they become in later life, no one gets through teen years without visiting some rude stupidity on at least one *someone*.

An excellent podcast came out on this last year. http://www.stufftheydontwantyoutoknow.com/podcasts/what-… and yep probably long haul truckers/predatory types who recognize easy prey... :-(

I like that. But- the faceless man said one way or the other they would have a new face.... Whether he meant it...?

.....Sansa is becoming more and more like Cersei, fify. Cersei is a player, a plotter, and a survivor but she is also usually undone by her own actions. Sansa just laid a foundation for that when she lied to Jon. It was both very un-stark of her (to lie like that) and also *so fucking stark* of her to do it (foolishly…

OMG I’m sick to death of the cgi cost being mentioned as a reason for plot points in one of the most popular and well funded shows on tv. Ffs, this isn’t 1950s Dr Who, they fly cast and crew to Spain, Czech, Ireland, etc. Quit being boring and facile.

I’m reall you bored of this facile “reason.” Cold hands and stoneheart could easily be done without cgi. And surely one of the hottest shows on tv doesn’t need to consider those costs as though this is Dr Who fifty years ago. It’s more like GRRM is a master world builder but a truly crappy author, and the show cut out…

I don't think she will. She spent her formative years under Cerseis thumb and it's starting to show in a way that makes me think Sansa will survive and maybe become a master villian in her own right.

But brienne knows, that'll be key.

Sansa went to the Cersei Lannister Finishing Academy for Young Queens and it’s starting to show, in a good way i think. Gives me some hope for her survival.

The faceless men are testing her. They sent her to that play on purpose. It’s no accident that the younger woman isn’t the mark, yet is all wrapped up like a cersei-voodoo-doll gift. And arya thinks the actress is horrible too, doesn’t want to assassinate the older one. It was all very carefully contrived setup for…

At first, I thought he was the guy that the Children made into the Night King, but then I realized what it was they were doing... Fingers crossed for the timely return of Benjen.

Except then she did trust him, believing him about Riverrun/blackfish. When Jon/Sansa were plotting with the map and stones and she mentioned Riverrun, it was a huge turning point for everyone’s outlook on the pending battle. It matters too much, and the information came from someone Sansa had *just* said she didn’t…
