I'm certainly not, and I'm your resident "girl power" progressive. The current season has been one where you're supposed to wonder whether the Targaryen madness actually did skip Danaerys.

Honestly, there are very, very few reasonable people on the show--it's one of my biggest turn offs. Yes, lots of powerful people are violent and bloodthirsty and cruel and backstabbing, but the history of the world's leaders is not one of unceasing stupidity. I think somewhere in the past two seasons, the show switched from a philosophy of "our viewers like it when actions have consequences" to "our viewers like it when bad things happen." Those categories overlap, to be sure, but they absolutely are not congruent. Just look at the disaster that was the Ramsay Bolton subplot for an example of what I mean.
