Dothraki foreplay leaves much to be desired. No-one messes with the unburnt, the mother of dragons etc, etc, etc, especially by season 6.

What a load of shite. The storyline involving the rape was really interesting.

Well not really, she has explicitly consented to have sex with him tbf. Granted she doesn't look that impressed with the whole thing in the tv series but that's nervous virgins and culture clash for you!

The book was a lot more rapey
There's a difference between knowing you have no choice and consent though don't you think? She expressly stated she didn't want to marry him and then sobbed all the way through the horsey style sex, if she had had any personal power to say no without the threat of physical violence included in the horsey style sex she would have used it; submitting because you have no choice doesn't really constitute consent...i want to know why GRRMartin is so obsessed with doggy style all the sex is rough doggy style.

It's for cinematographic reasons. It allows the camera to easily obtain an unobstructed frontal shot of the woman whilst simultaneously concealing the man's genitals.

What the hell Trump has to do with GoT is anyone's guess. I'm guessing she's the type that people heard ranting on about Trump and so decided "screw you" and went out and voted for the idiot.
All i could find was that the Trump campaign pitched most of it's ads during GOT and The Walking Dead because polling showed a good number of Trump voters watched those two shows.

Though so do a lot of Democrats, so Yeah.

That Irish woman is a bit of a feminist, making it about Trump to belittle Craig even more.

Aishling likes to play up for the twitter feminists. I quite like her but things like that are irritating.

This reminds me chris rocks answer to the question of whether or not political correctness stifles comedy.

Does it force you into some sort of self-censorship?

It does. I swear I just had a conversation with the people at the Comedy Cellar about how we can make cell phones into cigarettes. If you would have told me years ago that they were going to get rid of smoking in comedy clubs, I would have thought you were crazy.

It is scary, because the thing about comedians is that you’re the only ones who practice in front of a crowd. Prince doesn’t run a demo on the radio. But in stand-up, the demo gets out. There are a few guys good enough to write a perfect act and get onstage, but everybody else workshops it and workshops it, and it can get real messy. It can get downright offensive. Before everyone had a recording device and was wired like ****ing Sammy the Bull,4 you’d say something that went too far, and you’d go, “Oh, I went too far,” and you would just brush it off. But if you think you don’t have room to make mistakes, it’s going to lead to safer, gooier stand-up. You can’t think the thoughts you want to think if you think you’re being watched.
