Will the New Game of Thrones Be Any Less Cruel to Women?

Attention, everyone: Winter A is coming. And by that I mean more thinly veiled sexism could be hitting your screens-and, inevitably, your social media timelines this August. I know, I know, you're still not over Bran Stark ending up on the Iron Throne, but such is life and such is the entertainment industry.

The prequel series is called House of the Dragon, and it follows the Targaryen family 200 years before everything in the original Game of Thrones. With any luck, it will bring just as many reasons for hot takes.
