Phallus (Yara Greyjoy, Varys)

Game of Thrones exaggerates situations that women and men in the audience know well from their everyday struggle for power. The female leader (Yara Greyjoy) dutifully performs at work, is always prepared and highly qualified—but is ousted by a man (Euron Greyjoy), who rarely actively participated in the organization of the Iron Islands, does not have a successful record, but explicitly distinguishes himself by having “a dick”. Pursuing a different logic than the typical male power types, is Varys, the eunuch. He does not have balls, but brains.
