Okay, everyone knows that I dislike her. However, I doubt that she was created for the sexually repressed fan base. She acts submissive, though for all we know her mother could have acted the same way. Women do all kinds of things in the world of Dragon's Dogma. There are shop owners, and I agree with the thing about Jasper's household being a democracy (i.e. asking for his wife's approval). However, there's also different classes as well (it is basically the middle ages after all). Like you have royalty, the aristocrats, the merchants, peasants, etc. Unlike Mercedes who defied her class' tradition of being nothing more than be married off for power, Aelinore still follows it. She was married off to Edmund Dragonsbane, but showed some defiance as she was still "pure".

No, I don't feel bad for her. She chose to have her servant send a message for a romantic rendezvous with the Arisen. I know that I could had just avoided it in any NG+, but the fact that she still wanted it remains the same. It's true that she only made accusations to save herself and the Arisen from death as well as helped you escape the dungeon, but she's still the reason you ended up there in the first place (and lashed).
