Pondering about Drogo and Dany
So it happened that I recently read the books series and watched the show and I still ruminate about it a bit sometimes. Here is one thing that bothers me: I feel that a lot of people completely misunderstand storyline of Dany's marriage with Drogo. Often I see comments be like awww Drogo is so cute and nice to Dany they're so precious blah blah blah. But fact is that he is a warlord who sees Dany mainly as incubator for his son and the same can be said for his chalesar, because in their so called culture women are basically slaves. I mean he kept raping her consistently after the wedding omg. It was downplayed to some degree in the show but in the books it was clear that the sex was not exactly consensual. Overall Dany's value stands and falls with her ability to give birth to a child with proper health and gender. Bluntly said she is a slave pleasing her master in order to survive, that is it. It is quite admirable that she managed to squeeze some semblance of power out of this and used it for her benefit but let's not be selectively blind to what this situation actually is. Often I was just for fun imagining what would happen if she gave birth to a girl or a boy that would not be appealing enough for Dothrakis. All that theatrical act Khaleesi this Khaleesi that would drop in a second I guess lol.
PS: gave NTSF because of the R-word and topic.
