I don’t know if i have any particular views about women in positions of power, though i do think it’s more difficult for women, particularly in a medieval setting. they have the additional problem that they’re a woman and people don’t want them in a position of power in an essentially patriarchal society.

More From George R. R. Martin

If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. rome and cardinal o'connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that god is the father and jesus is his son, there were only male disciples, etc. they are defending a patriarchal church with a patriarchal god. we must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of god.
Jesus Father Fighting
I still think it's important for people to have a sharp, ongoing critique of marriage in patriarchal society — because once you marry within a society that remains patriarchal, no matter how alternative you want to be within your unit, there is still a culture outside you that will impose many, many values on you whether you want them to or not.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
We women are callow fledglings as compared with the wise old birds who manipulate the political machinery, and we still hesitate to believe that a woman can fill certain positions in public life as competently and adequately as a man. for instance, it is certain that women do not want a woman for president. nor would they have the slightest confidence in her ability to fulfill the functions of that office. every woman who fails in a public position confirms this, but every woman who succeeds creates confidence.

I want my daughters to see me and know me as a woman who works. i want that example set for them... i am a better mother for it. the woman i am because i get to run shondaland, because i get write all day, because i get to spend my days making things up, that woman is a better person - and a better mother. because that woman is happy. that woman is fulfilled. that woman is whole. i wouldn't want them to know the me who didn't get to do this all day long. i wouldn't want them to know the me who wasn't doing.
Daughter Mother Running
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

All systems are capitalist. it's just a matter of who owns and controls the capital -- ancient king, dictator, or private individual. we should properly be looking at the contrast between a free market system where individuals have the right to live like kings if they have the ability to earn that right and government control of the market system such as we find today in socialist nations.
Kings Government Matter
The new testament writers speak as if christ's achievement in rising from the dead was the first event of its kind in the whole history of the universe. he is the 'first fruits,' the pioneer of life,' he has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first man. he has met, fought, and beaten the king of death. everything is different because he has done so.
