Everytime a woman so much as stubs her toe there has been a slew of articles decrying the terrible misogyny and obvious patriarchal bent of the show. Sansa getting rapped by Bolton was an attack on all women, somehow, but Theon getting his junk cut off and relentlessly tortured didn't seem to provoke much sympathy (prob cause he was an arrogant murderous douchebag who kind of deserved it as opposed to Sansa being an overall innocent victim, but still). If Asha was the one that had happened to, and she escaped then returned to the Iron Islands only to be chastized as a worthless, broken weakling by her brother, do you think the arguement that this is merely because the Iron Islanders despise weakness would have played well?
