Seriously, get off of your soapbox and stop trying to over-dramatize Anna. She left him during wartime to be with a childhood friend. Cuckolded him for three years, and left him without so much as a word while claiming on the day he proposed to love him. Leave it to braindead wanna-be feminists to try to make drama about a man who's only crime was drinking, beating a unfaithful and intentionally cruel wife, and letting his men run rampant across Velen. Hell, I think you didn't even play the game, I think you sat there and watched someone and tried to make it a point to start further drama. In fact, let's look at the negatives involved with each party.

By all means, other contributers please add further into this if I forget faults.

Philip: Killed her cheating wife's lover, beat his wife when she tried to kill him, beat her further whenever she goaded him into doing so, buried their unborn and dead child away from the keep and didn't properly give her a name.... This is really all that is directly responsible under his hands.

Anna: Lying to Philip to gain status, slept with another man when her husband was away at war, left him without a word and without real reason to live life as a peasant with the daughter of the man she left, continually goaded him into beating her, made a deal with the crones to have their baby be miscarried simply because she hated the baron.

I am blaming Deah's death on Anna, due to her making a deal with the crones, and I am definitely not being kind because she's a woman.

In the end both characters are at fault, and definitely not good people. Trying to intentionally be blind because Anna is a woman and being "Abused" Is far from the right thinking. Anna brought it on herself, and even intentionally did so to further alienate Tamara from her father. Honestly when shades of grey are involved, she's as close to black as possible, while Philip at least mourned Deah.... far more than I can say for her. Both are dark grey, but she is definitely not a victim..... Afterall, in the end she even tried to betray the crones. Not a good argument on your part, I do have to say as much miss/mister abuse obsessed soapboxer.
