Alyssa Rosenberg over at Think Progress has a must-read essay in response to claims that George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire is too brutal towards women. She deconstructs feminist writer Sady Doyle’s critiques of Martin’s narrative with amazing elegance, and along the way she also delivers a great lesson in how to write about nerd entertainment in a constructive, rather than pointlessly sneering, fashion. Well worth checking out. [Think Progress]
