Abstract
Being inspired by medieval history and culture, Game of Thrones may be regarded as a work of neo-medievalism, depicting a world where several fantasy and medieval literary characteristics are subverted. One of them is the portrayal of women who are strong and violent, and who disrupt gender norms, such as Brienne of Tarth, Arya Stark, and Yara Greyjoy. Accordingly, it seems that in order to wield male power and to engage in traditionally male activities, these women have to deny their femininity. Thus, the aim of this article is to understand why women must deny their femininity to be taken seriously in traditionally male roles, and whether that denial transforms as effective power or undermines them in the eyes of Westerosi society.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
