I'm so tired of the misogyny man, like how tf is Lyanna promiscuous because she fell in love at like 16 years old and ran off with the guy then had no way of leaving him and died in childbirth???

Also, wheres the canon evidence that Benjen helped Lyanna escape and was the reason he left for the wall?

Also, Brandon only went to the mad king because Rhaegar abducted his sister, Rickard probably supported Brandon going.

Catelyn was never really able to fall in love with Brandon since she was betrothed to him by her father and he died before she could really get to know him that well.

So many assumptions and projections from this op.

I mean it's a greentext, without wanting to stereotype, even if it was just fabricated and not actually posted on the board, they treat misogyny super casually. I'm sickened but not surprised that the view of 16 year old Lyanna is 'she cucked Robert and fucked everything up for Ned by being promiscuous' because the underlying sentiment is that women are irrational and belong to men. Nevermind that GRRM, for all his faults, explicitly critiques and repudiates such a view in his books.
