#which is why it's so significant that George wrote her based on feminists who realized they wanted more than becoming wives/housewives

Imagine being 9 years old and asking your dad about the things you're interested in doing when you grow up and he's like "No ❤️! But you can get married, have babies, and then maybe your sons can do those things ☺️🫶 "
#arya stark
#one of those /wtf Ned/ moments
#then people act like she invented misogyny cause she was like /uuuhhhhh no thanks that's not me/
#/Arya is masculine/ and she's literally just a child who has interests outside of her patriarchy-assigned role
#the way people read this and then demonize Arya for not silently conforming like people expect her to...
#that's the ingrained misogyny from being socialized in a patriarchal society speaking babes 😭
#cannot stress enough how Arya is just an average little girl and what makes her behavior stand out is their society's strict gender norms
#her life + learning almost entirely revolves around the fact that she is being raised to be a wife and people resent her for wanting more :
#she is NINE in AGoT and her parents are discussing her refinement because /In a few years she will be of an age to marry/
#the way misogyny is explored in Arya's story is actually so brilliant and well-written (+ underappreciated) though
#we feel the full weight of how restrictive their society is through her POV and get the experiences of lower-class women too
#which is why it's so significant that George wrote her based on feminists who realized they wanted more than becoming wives/housewives
#she's one of his key characters who will /change the world/ but people think he's sticking her on a boat bc she isn't feminine enough 😭
#thank god he's writing the books and not any of these reductive hacks who thinks misogyny is subversive 🙏🏾
#sidenote: would've loved to see this from her POV to get her feelings when he said this cause I'm sure it doesn't match Ned's perception
#considering he views her main issues as being stubborn/difficult while we know about the self-esteem issues she has
