Valar morghulis. All men must die. And Game of Thrones is a show that men just don't have luck in. I mean, they really have it shitty on the show. They make us like them, then love them, and then we get attached. And then, they freaking die. But dive deep into the show and you'll realize that it is actually a show that is empowering women instead. Men are just collateral damage.

Let's have a look at what's happened so far. Spoilers ahead: that's right, everyone dies.

1. Ned Stark - didn't even make it to the 2nd season.

2. Rob Stark, or basicaly all the Stark men have it bad.

Gets stabbed at own wedding.

What a way to die.

And little brother Brandon? Amazing he even survived that fall.

3. Lannisters - they pay their debts but the cost is way too high

Tyrion falls in love with every prostitute that whispers sweet nothings in his ear. He falls for it all the time. He also gets in trouble a lot.

Let's not forget the stuff that happens to people who defend this guy. Super spoiler alert!!:


Jaime loses his hand. And that's his good hand!


4. Joffrey

Throughout the show, people hurl hate at him. Like it was just passing a ball in a game. Then they send slaps his way. There are so many scenes of him getting slapped, we couldn't possibly include them all.

He's also a pussy.


Of course, he would eventually meet his fate.

5. Theon Greyjoy - betrays best friend, then gets flayed.

got5.gif

Too graphic to be shown.

6. The Night's Watch

got16.gif

Jon Snow didn't know what he was getting in too. Let's consider him a Stark boy too.

7. That old guard

got12.jpg

After he gets dismissed by King Joffrey, he goes on to work for a woman, albeit, a very very powerful one. Can we consider him lucky?

8. This old pervy looking man

got11.jpg

Unrequited love never looked so..so..sad.

9. Droggo

This guy was so bad ass, he died from poison wine.

10. Daenerys brother

got10.png

If you want the throne so bad, you're going to get one. If only Viserys hadn't been so cocky.

The list goes on. Deaths like getting fired-on by dragons are sure to come for more:

got22.gif

But women on the other hand:

got13.gif

They are something else.

11. Cersei - self assured woman who will stop at nothing to ensure happiness

got14.gif

Which involves a lot of threats, like, she will kill you if you are not careful. 

got15.gif

She doesn't discriminate between genders either.

12. Maegaery Tyrell

got26.gif

Possibly the second hottest chick on GoT, who's very very ambitious:

got27.gif

She's gone through 2 husbands already, and the third one might just be a kid, but this chick is determined.

got28.gif

That's what Queens look like.

13. Shae

got35.jpg

The prostitute with the most screen time ever. More so than Jon Snow possibly. Why show so much of her? So we can see her betrayal of course.

14. Sansa

got21.gif

She may have been pushed around for one too many seasons, but she's not holding back anymore.

15. Lady Catelyn - she basically started the war:


And yes, no one blamed her.

16. That big girl - Brienne of Tarth

got23.gif

Looks like a lady, walks like a lady, fights like a freaking man.

got24.gif

You lose, son.

got25.gif

She doesn't take shit from anyone.

17. Daenery's number 1 slave/aid - Missandei

got41.png

Might even get a love story of her own when pervy soldier checks her out bathing.

18. Daenerys- Mother of Dragons

got29.gif

Baths in fire. Gives birth to dragons.


got30.gif

How much more empowering can this get?

got31.gif

Apparently, a whole lot more.

19. Melisandre - crazy, sexy witch.

got37.png

Whose skills involved magic and seduction 101 classes.

got38.jpg

She knows she's got the stuff too:

got39.jpg

Bangs "kings" when she feels like it. Not the other way round, mind you.

got40.jpg

20. Arya Stark

got17.gifgot18.gif

Aren't little girls supposed to play with dolls, and marry lords later in life? Not Arya. She prefers to spend her time thinking about who's heart to pierce with her sword.

got19.gif

Only a handful of women have died

24. Lady Katherine

got34.jpg

Admittedly, quite a brutal death.

25. Her sister - Death by Moondoor - we hated her anyway. Good riddance.

got43.png

26. Robb's wife

got3.jpg

This was painful to watch!

But compare the deaths of men and women in the show, it is the women that come out strong and remain in it. If you defy them, you die. 

got32.gif

Boom!

27. And to summarize: this is why the show is about empowering women. Men are collateral damage.

You go, GF!
