Dany is a character I loathe, but, I don't see her as a ridiculous feminist character. Actually like Sansa and Cersei, she's quite believable. The Sand Snakes/Elliria are ridiculous. As is Yara.Brienne (tv show, not books) and Arya (tv show later seasons, not books).

She's the
only
forced feminist character on the entire show, dude. Most her stories consist of her running into evil misogynists she killed.
As is Yara.
Explain
Brienne (tv show, not books)
Explain
and Arya (tv show later seasons, not books).
TV Arya is more grounded than Book Arya
Malaria and the Sand Snakes suck, but they're villains and obviously not meant as feminist role models. -

I see her as liberal, but not necessarily feminist (as in, modern third wave "female supremacy" feminist), but as an equalitarian liberator. She free's slaves from masters, and outlaws rape, etc. She's essentially bringing about freedom and equality and civilization rather than "crushing the patriarchy". The misogynists she encounters are also just beep They play against her gender because she is a woman, in a (realistically for the time period) male dominated world. But they also enslave and castrate men, something she does not condone (had surprised given the uber feminist slant HBO/D&D went in last year).
Lets also not forget, she's had a lot of good luck.mainly having 3 dragons, and having ultimately devoted slave warriors, and knights and assassins around her. But her story has been fairly realistic imo.
Yara was ruined when they 1) had her berate her father 2.) had her steal Euron's fleetbasically making the "big bad male" look foolish and outsmarted by his female rival. 3.) had her turn gay to appease the LGBQT feminist fans (wooing Dany no less). I seriously doubt Yara will win the Salt Throne in the novels. D&D wrote terrible fan fiction. Theon being there and basically advocating for her was absurdly stupid. No one there would respect his endorsement.they didn't respect him before when he was whole, and not a traitor/turncoak, slave, neutered whipped dog. They sure as hell wouldn't respect him, nor his opinion now. And why would he support Yarahe resented her for her treachery, undermining him, abandoning him, and rivaling him. I suppose D&D's shoehorned in "rescue" scene gives some reason why he might, but still, to have Theon act weak/pathetic and support her was DUMB.
Brienne in the show is a smug, disgusting abomination of her book self. She's self righteous, stupid, and annoying. She
