Okay, I see. You were referring to misogyny as an infection - I agree, honestly, though many Muslim feminists would disagree that the hijab is inherently misogynistic, because Muslim men are commanded to cover themselves too (just not to that extent).
I'm not blaming Dany for anything - she doesn't exist. She's an invention of GRRM, and it's his intentions and representations that are or aren't problematic. I like Dany, as a character. A lot! She's very sympathetic, not to mention brave. But I do think GRRM's representation of race wrt Essos is problematic. Hasn't decreased my enjoyment of the books any, mind.

Agree to disagree?
