(This thread is about POV characters only) Reading ASoIaF I got the impression Martin likes to play with gender roles in the case female characters but no so much in the case of men. This is kind of sexist towards both men and women though I don’t think Martin does it intentionally. The tomboy trope is simply a lot more common than... well, is there even a name for feminine acting men that isn’t degrading? A strong argument for why there are more male-acting female characters in ASoIaF
