Late night thoughts: The all-male societies of ASOIAF were so misogynistic that when the Night’s Watch caught Danny Flint disguised as a man to defend the wall instead of being like “hahaha funny lady let’s take u back to your clan safely” they were so offended that their pristine male society was “defiled” by a woman that they gang raped her and slit her throat

ah yes… ancient and “noble” orders of men often have that symptom of hyper-masculinity. It’s seen with the Night’s Watch in the story of Danny Flint, and it’s seen in the order of knighthood as a whole with Brienne. Women “infiltrating” all-male ranks earns them ire and disrespect.

I would add that the violence that arose in the story of Danny Flint goes beyond that of just a woman joining. It’s the fact that a woman joined *in secret*, that she tricked the men into thinking she was someone she wasn’t, and so when the truth came out, so did the anger at being fooled. It’s a story of men’s bruised pride as much as it is a commentary on how twisted revered orders are beneath the surface.

welcome to my blog. all i care about are witches, wolves, and women

One of my favorite fairy tale figures is Baba Yaga, an old witch who lives in an enchanted forest, rides a mortar instead of a broom, lives in a house with chicken legs and usually has three magical sons. I have an obsession with witches in general, but something about this old Russian spell caster really captures my imagination.

I think one day i’d like to write about the adventures of her youth. How she became powerful and delightfully evil (although she is good in a couple of tales). So, here you go, young Baba Yaga (who would have a different name, since Baba means old woman. Maybe just Yaga?).
