On one hand it makes sense that medieval european social relations imply, well, medieval european social relations and it makes sense to use your novel (or your show) to examine those.
On the other I can relate to many people wanting to see women in medieval fantasy to be represented in some other way than constant misery porn.
At this point I'd at least take "feeding the hogs and getting that bag" as refreshing honesty, in much the same way that Hideo Kojima is a shameless horndog (his "bomb in vagina" misogynistic takes are still trash though).
