I've seen a lot of "Alicent is getting a taste of her own medicine" takes.
Important thing that's obvious but the general public lacks media literacy:
Alicent was never against a woman on the throne, and Alicent never wanted Aegon on the throne, but she thought that her family would be in danger if Rhaenyra became queen.
That was only confirmed after Driftmark. Her son was maimed by Rhaenyra's bully sons and she not only didn't show an ounce of sympathy but also demanded that Aemond would be sharply questioned aka tortured. That was the moment Alicent realised that her father was right and Rhaenyra would absolutely hurt her kids.
Even if Rhaenyra didn't do anything, which seems o be a theme right now, Daemon definitely would have killed them, let's be honest. Maybe not Helaena but Aemond and Aegon for sure.
So it's frustrating to see people think that Alicent is finally experiencing what Rhaenyra is because my brothers and sisters in Christ this woman has been a pawn to men her entire life, all she knows is misogyny.
She is not upset because now her voice is not being heard, because her voice WAS NEVER HEARD.
She is frustrated because especially now that shit became real, with the dragons involved in the war, they need someone in charge that is not the hot headed man that controls the flying nuke. Yes Aemond seems like a good strategist but he has a temper and might not be the best option as the person no one can say no to right now.
It also doesn't really makes sense because they are in two very different places. Even if Rhaenyra experiences misogyny, she is their queen, so they will do what she comands. Which has been happening, they don't agree with her but they are no disobeying her. Alicent on the other hand, has no power, at all, so her voice means literally nothing to them.
So yeah it's interesting to see people saying she is finally experiencing what Rhaenyra is because if any of you can point out to me a moment when her voice was actually heard and opinion considered I would really appreciate it, cause as far as I'm aware
all Alicent has known in her life is disdain
