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.


Too graphic to be shown.

6. The Night's Watch


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

7. That old guard


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


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

9. Droggo


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

10. Daenerys brother


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:


But women on the other hand:


They are something else.

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


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


She doesn't discriminate between genders either.

12. Maegaery Tyrell


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


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


That's what Queens look like.

13. Shae


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


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


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


You lose, son.


She doesn't take shit from anyone.

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


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


18. Daenerys- Mother of Dragons


Baths in fire. Gives birth to dragons.



How much more empowering can this get?


Apparently, a whole lot more.

19. Melisandre - crazy, sexy witch.


Whose skills involved magic and seduction 101 classes.


She knows she's got the stuff too:


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


20. Arya Stark


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.



Only a handful of women have died

24. Lady Katherine


Admittedly, quite a brutal death.

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


26. Robb's wife


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. 


Boom!

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


You go, GF!
