Emilia Clarke, perhaps better known as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, stopped by The Late Late Show with James Corden to call attention to one niche women’s rights issue that we need rectified yesterday. There’s a whole lot of female nudity on Game of Thrones, she said, and not much attention given to the men on screen. So… what’s the deal? And more importantly, when is HBO going to fix it?

“I feel like there’s a little bit of inequality that happens with women, this woman in particular, and what happens with the other guys,” Clarke said. “I think it should be even.”
