Dany eventually figures it out though, and adverts her death though right? Without any male bitches to help her. And Cersei, for all her arrogance, was being heavily manipulated by Varys into making all those follies.

I mean, its curious that a lot of characters dont have moms or grannys to get advice from (on point to what you're saying), but then we have the son-mother relationships of Robb-Cat, Bran-Oldnan, Tommand-Cersei, and I start caring less about that. Theres important male characters getting played and being stupid just as much as there are females doing it too. (Dany's brother, in addition to ppl previously mentioned).

I mean, you can compare Starks to Lanisters, and you got Sansa = Tommand, and Arya = Joffrey. These children are mirror images of each other, in their need for dependence (Sansa pair) and independence (arya pair). Theyre similar in maturity levels, knowledge of how the world works, respect for authority, moldability, etc. The only real differences are age and gender. Sure, arya had Jaquen provide plot devices for her, and shes being trained to use a sword and be an assassin...but how else does she do these things? Does 8(?)yr old arya read a book on swordsmanship and suddenly gain +5 to fighting? Or does she find the only other known female swordsman (Brienne) and beg to be taught by her (even though she isnt great)? Its a fact that men are the fighters in this universe...and theres sexism in that, sure...but within that world there isnt much Arya can do to improve if she isnt being taught by a man.

Like, if Arya were taught by a bunch of children of the Forrest girls, would you see an issue? Because if not, then i cant see how being taught by men provides an issue when theyre really the only people that can do so.
