I am going to start off by saying that choosing an image of Arya instead of Sansa for this post was a purposeful choice. After the last two days of online arguments, and then last night's 3 hour recording, I had just had enough of even thinking about Sansa. So I decided to post an image from one of the actually enjoyable parts of the episode. I have a LOT to say about this, obviously. And I am eternally thankful that I've chosen two co-hosts that are on the same page as me and who understand PRECISELY what I'm feeling and trying to articulate here. I posted a link to Miles's article on this episode on my Facebook page, and I really recommend it. It was an excellent read. Listen, you don't have to agree with me. I wish you would, I wish you could understand how profoundly and deeply this upset me, both as a woman and as a writer, but you don't have to agree. The one thing I ask is that you don't say, "Get over it, that's the story. Stop being a crybaby. If you don't want to see rape you're watching the wrong show." Please, don't. Because I promise you it won't be pretty. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vdchwk9bowuma17/GOT%20S05E07-%20Unbowed%20Unbent%20Unbroken.mp3?dl=0

I love you guys and am right there with you about this episode and the fucking rage I feel at D&D plus Cogman right now. They have repeatedly used sexualized violence towards women in GoT and displayed it, exploited it with the maturity level of 13 year old boys. Additionally the way they trivialized Sansa's trauma made possible for all those douche bag responses you mentioned turning your show. I was a victim of sexual assault by a "holy roller" neighbor when I was 9 years old. This was in the 70s, I was too afraid to tell my parents, was I beaten, no, penetrated, no, but Natasha when you started to cry during the episode as 51 year old woman I immediately went back to that moment when that wonderful neighbor placed his hands on me like it happened that afternoon. Did I survive, yes, did it make me a stronger person, I have no fucking idea because I can't live a parallel life to know where that didn't happen. The biggest betrayal for me was the focus on Theon, you all made the point about the distraction and diminishment of Sansa. Natasha I came to you thru Miles and TOTH, I'm a big fan, Miles, thanks for writing the truth in that review, you're brave and beautiful, Antoine, I want you to be my son . Direliz

Oh, one more thought that no one has mentioned, what if Sansa gets fucking pregnant with Bolton filth, then what? Someone better start brewing some fucking moon tea. Direliz

Direliz, you are amazing. Thanks so much for your feedback (and fuck you Patreon for not emailing me about this comment) and for sharing something so personal. Whether you're "stronger" by some weird arbitrary standard is irrelevant; you're clearly just awesome as fuck. And that's all you, not because of someone else.
