tikificI guess this review of Game of Thrones on HBO has generated some controversy. I must admit, though I didn't agree with it, I was fine until I got to the third to last paragraph:
Uhhhh, girls no likee fantasy?
This has been THE thing I was looking forward to on my teevee!
(And, yeah, True Blood is trashy, THAT'S WHY WE LIKE IT!)
The true perversion, though, is the sense you get that all of this illicitness has been tossed in as a little something for the ladies, out of a justifiable fear, perhaps, that no woman alive would watch otherwise. While I do not doubt that there are women in the world who read books like Mr. Martin’s, I can honestly say that I have never met a single woman who has stood up in indignation at her book club and refused to read the latest from Lorrie Moore unless everyone agreed to “The Hobbit” first. “Game of Thrones” is boy fiction patronizingly turned out to reach the population’s other half.
