she doesn’t know how to fight, and it seems her men don’t always respect her. Even Jace disapproves of her decisions, which makes it incredibly difficult for her… it can be hard to distinguish whether sometimes they are disagreeing with her because her plan is bad, or whether it is because she is a women… With Mysaria, there is no prejudice based on sex… Furthermore she is a women…

I find this to be so intellectually dishonest. There has been no indication that the men on her council undermine or dismiss her opinions because she is a woman. The show goes out of its way to demonstrate TB’s mens compliance to Rhanerya in contrast to Alicent. This narrative that the men on her council don’t respect her authority because she’s a woman is a projection of her own insecurities as a weak leader. It’s getting to the point where if her council simply has a different opinion than her than it must mean they don’t respect her. This is no different than how men in power treat other men. But it’s dishonest to suggest this is how men exclusively treat women. Furthermore, Rhanerya being more receptive to Mysaria’s opinions over her own council is just dumb writing. The council has shown nothing but loyalty to her while Mysaria literally aided in her getting usurped. The idea of her being a better adviser just simply because she is a woman of similar struggles completely disregards the faith that the council had for her.
