TVLine decides to be sexist during their "celebration" of Women's History Month
As Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin once sang, “Sisters are doin’ it for themselves.” And that sentiment seems especially applicable to the dozens of strong female characters populating our television screens nowadays.
To celebrate Women’s History Month, TVLine has compiled a list of the 15 Most Empowered Female Characters on Television, ladies who are firmly in control of their personal and professional destinies — often in the face of daunting obstacles. On the flip side, we’ve identified 10 of their Least Empowered counterparts, women who allow the men in their lives and society as a whole to define their goals and values, and too often wind up playing the role of victim.

the fact of the matter is that the article is sexist in a myriad of ways, not just limited to how they treat sansa or pit female characters against each other to celebrate women's history.
But i just have to say Dany is a self made woman rme at ppls biases
shes one of the strongest chars in the books/show imo but why cant people see that? ugh
she's tough as nails and very smart.
WTF was TVLine thinking?
And they have such a narrow view of what it is to be empowered.
I CAN'T.
fauxkaren? moar like.... fauxliteracy tbh
Both Haley Dunphy and Sansa Stark are being compared to their younger "more empowered" siblings
I think Arya is the most empowered. She just doesn't give a fuck.
actually probably more fucks than anyone else since she's obsessed w getting revenge on those who screwed her family over
I didn't even read this post but just wanted to say I'M NOT HERE FOR THAT, future queen of Westeros/The North etc. etc.
preach bb
pretty sure dis article culd also b called "pointin out problematic characters on tv"
& mostly - sansa is a queen and a badass, sorry whoever made this list is too stupid to understand subtlety
I can't fucking deal with this right now
