The Daily Beast: "Game of Thrones' Sexual Politics"

While HBO hasn't shied away from abundant sex in the Game of Thrones books (even amping it up), the presence of rape within George R.R. Martin's novels has been nearly eliminated.

Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, entitled "Game of Thrones' Sexual Politics," in which I examine why sex and violence, but not sexual violence, has played out on the show—and why some viewers and critics are angry.

Do you agree with the assessment? Head to the comments section to discuss and debate, but remember: keep it fair.
