The Dragon King Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Not sexist towards women, but sexist towards men. These quotes really make me wonder about this.That seems extremely extremely sexist and highly offensive to me. Anyway, what are everyone elses thoughts on this?Yes, she is obviously sexist but I'm not sure why you let it get to you. As for people trying to sanitize her remarks by saying she dislikes stupid people, just because she doesnt like suffering fools, male or female, does NOT mean she has an inherent dislike of males. The characters in the series are human and they'll have unique flaws, one of them might be sexism or ageism, or some other type of ism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Ro Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah as others have said, these "stop whining"(@the fallen and daarios man) comments are pretty useless and unproductive. I don't see how asking a valid question qualifies as whining, but ok brahs.Anyway, regardless of how the qot feels about men, I still like her and think shes funny. I was just wondering how others felt about this, or even if anyone put any thought into this at all.That just seethes with female superiority, doesn't it! Sisterhood is powerful! Down with patriarchy! WOMYN! WOMYN!!!!! :laugh: ok, this really made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Walrus Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Alas, I am sadly out of that age cohort and have only the vaguest knowledge of what tumblr is.It's like a really bad version of Facebook or Myspace. A lot of Tumblr pages are infested with these whiny, hateful woman who embrace some mutated form of Feminism, sometimes calling for the castration of all men.

They seem to forget that Feminism is supposed to be about Gender Equality, not feminine superiority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingInTheCave Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It's common knowledge that there is no such thing as sexism towards men, so she's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickStormborn Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Her views towards men seem more like a manifestation of her frustration at the treatment of women. But really, the Queen of Thorns thinks of everyone badly. She's rude and nasty, and totally flaw free. :bowdown:But even if she did hold negative views exclusively about men... who cares? She can't do anything with those views, unlike the male characters whose negative views on women directly reinforce gender stereotypes and oppression.
