I used to feel like that, too.

Then, I realised that although the terrible things that have happened to her and the misogynistic nature of her society may explain why she does what she does, they do not excuse it.

So, now I tend to find myself agreeing with Margery where Cersei is concerned.

Yeah I think that's part of the reason why I felt sorry for her because certain men on the show trout on her because she's a woman. If she weren't so bat trout crazy and petty should would have made a good leader. Definitely smarter than both of her sons. And Margarey can smurf off. I hate her social climbing ass. Her grandmother is the an hero.

I don't think Cersei is really 'hateful' she just wants to protect her children. Her scene in last weeks episode where she was talking to Tommen said it all. She wants to protect her children and family and will do it any cost. She's really, really clever and she needs to be in a world that is full of trout, quite frankly.

I don't think she's hateful either, but I think she did what she did to Margarey mostly out of jealously that she gets to be Queen, a position she wants and that she because Margarey humiliated her, or tried to anyway. She was very mama bear to Joffrey though but it doesn't seem like she's as much like that with the other son for whatever reason.
