cimoreneOn House of the Dragon I think we've now definitely observed the Magically Disappearing Patriarchy, a term coined by The Fandomentals in their reviews of latter-season Game of Thrones.
It's interesting that so much of the portrayal of Westeros in this show is (obviously) taken from Tudor England, both visually and thematically, but it's so much more sexist that a ruling queen is completely unthinkable, and yet at the same time so much less sexist when it comes to the power and authority of the king's wife.
