Honestly as far as GoT is concerned it is a mixed bag. On the one hand you have some very empowered, strong female characters and on the other depictions of rapes as casual happening of medieval violence which is not to everybody's taste. But let's face it, in medieval times and modern times rape is a war reality. There was ONE instance where the producer fucked up and a rough sex seen which had been written as consensual ended up on screen as undeniable rape, which made a lot of ink flow and created a lot of outrage. Yeah, GoT fucked up on that one, but shit happens. I don't think we should see a male misogynistic conspiracy underneath all this. I consider myself a bona fide feminist but I also think that some people read way too much into things and give men motives they don't necessarily have. Men are more guilty of genuine cluelessness than nefarious misogynistic intent.
Again about GoT and I finish my rant, a male character was castrated on the show and not a peep was heard against it on the Interwebz. Double standards are a bitch.
