Anyway, back to the point: I can see where people are coming from with this, but when I read them all I see is a lot of crappy stuff happening to everyone, because there's a war going on and it's basically a free-for-all bloodbath at the moment. I'm not saying there's nothing problematic with it at all ever, but when people talk about misogyny in the books, all I can think of is Cersei's POV chapters and how she's always pissed off that the only thing keeping her from taking the power she wants is that she doesn't have a penis. She's calling out the misogyny in the books herself. And yeah, like you said, there ARE a lot of strong female characters in there. I find the (massive) cast to be pretty well-balanced, really. I guess that's why it doesn't bother me as much as it might in other contexts. (I'm oversimplifying it, but I'm tired and melting from the heat, so.)
IDK, the most wish-fulfillment-esque thing I think I've seen in there are the descriptions of all the food, and that's because GRRM is a self-professed foodie.
