People: "omgg Catelyn was such an evil bitch if she was so hurt at Ned she should have taken it out on him instead of Jon who did nothing wrong!"

Westerosi noble husbands who have full legal and social control of their household (including their wife) if their wife ever attempts to "take something out on them":

#they also just had a whole ass continent wide war about a prince running off with someone who wasnt her wife #begging you guys to engage those braincells for 4 seconds #catelyn stark #catelyn tully stark #it was 1000% neds fault that situation happened even knowing his motivations #and sure there are exceptions like genna lannister who have sway in their households because their fathers family is more powerful #-than their husbands #but even then genna had to OBEY HER FATHER and marry emmon frey against her wishes #almost like she still has to abide by the word of a man #almost like in a feudal patriarchy the ones with all the power are NOBLE MEN
