Episode description
He's just Jon and he's enough! (Jonough?)
This week we're talking about men in Westeros, exploring how masculinity is constructed in the world of Game of Thrones. Questions we discuss include:
- How do medieval European ideals of masculinity inform this world's gender expectations?
- What is the relationship between violence and masculinity, or perceived masculinity?
- How do family systems and relationships perpetuate masculine ideals in Game of Thrones?
- Why is Daemon Targaryen Just Ken?
We also have two more wigs to discuss in our favorite new segment, Wig Watch! See photos of the wigs on our Instagram.
