It is about the TV show, not the books.
Yes, this part in particular I find perplexing and perhaps even a little offensive, as a woman. No - no, I actually find it quite offensive. Yup. I'm offended.
the best part of the original review IMHO is this:
"The true perversion, though, is the sense you get that all of this illicitness has been tossed in as a little something for the ladies, out of a justifiable fear, perhaps, that no woman alive would watch otherwise. While I do not doubt that there are women in the world who read books like Mr. Martin’s, I can honestly say that I have never met a single woman who has stood up in indignation at her book club and refused to read the latest from Lorrie Moore unless everyone agreed to “The Hobbit” first. “Game of Thrones” is boy fiction patronizingly turned out to reach the population’s other half. "

Insert theme music here.

Am I reading it wrong, or is someone out there claiming the T & A is aimed at women?
