I started this gangsta sh-
If you aren't caught up to episode 506 then spoilers, obviously.
So as of last episode everyone is saying Ramsey raped Sansa.
My question is, how is that rape? Just cause she doesn't like him or want to be with him she completely consented to it every step of the way. She knew where she was going and agreed. Knew she was gonna marry him and agreed. Took the marraige vows. Knew in advance he'd be having sex with her on their wedding night before she even got to the castle at all. She had the oppritunity to dismiss the entire idea and never marry him and return to the Eyrie... but decided to marry him knowing fully well that he'd be having sex with her hours after they were married. Then, hours after they are married and she says I do, he has sex with her and now its rape?
Why? Cause he is a bad person?
She doesn't at any point do anything but willingly go along with the entire thing.
She acknowledges she needs to bathe to prepare. Etc.
Thats one instance.
But then their is Danyrys and Khal Drogo. Again, everyone is yelling "rape!"
But its the same thing all over again. She has a choice to marry this dude, does so understanding he's gonna fukk her, then when he fukks her its rape? Really?
Its not even a messed up situation like she is sold into slavery and abused or something. Then perhaps I could see the arguement.
But no... she intentionally enters this arangement to benifet from the status and power that will be afforded to her as result, same as Sansa. They understood and consented to have sex with the full understanding that the act itself would be the consacration of the marraige. They were not tricked or lied to, and both knew they would be having sex long in advance and agreed. There was no duress.
(Arguably, Sansa married Tyrion under duress... but he never touched her)
Marrying for power and people saying you were raped is like a you working all week then your boss claiming extortion when its time to pay you. Those are the terms of your contract. Marraige is a contract.
I'm not gonna go into Jamie raping Cersi after Joffrey died, cause they are in an incestous relationship and they are having sex next to their dead kid's corpse... so rape or not, thats in the bushes...
