shiv sat at that table, looked at her brother loganifying, unjustly winning right before her eyes merely because he was the son and she was the daughter. so with the only slice of power she had ever been granted, knowing it would be the last time she would hold that power in her hands, knowing it would doom her to her gendered fate of being nothing but a womb wife mother….shiv robbed kendall of being his father’s son because if she couldn’t be, then no one can.
Oh there is something so deeply and horrendously ironic about the fact that Shiv couldn’t be CEO. She couldn’t inherit her father’s kingdom. Her husband had to. The only way she can have it is by being a wife and a mother. Because that’s the only way a woman can have any power in the world her father created.
catelyn, alicent, cersei, and shiv haters be like “i’m going to hate a fictional woman for her failings as a wife and/or mother more than any other flawed behavior that she or other characters around her has ever exhibited. no men are accountable whatsoever for the circumstances that led her to act this way btw”
