Warning: Spoilers for "Game of Thrones" season seven
"Game of Thrones" returned for its seventh season July 16, and with it, there was another scene-stealing scene by a fan favorite.
Lyanna Mormont (Bella Ramsey) stands up and gives an empowering speech when men start questioning Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) wish to have both men and women train to fight against the Night King and the White Walker army.
Everyone age 10 to 16 we’ll drill daily with spears, pikes, bow and arrow,” said Jon as the King in the North.
Lord Glover (Tim McInnerny) responds, "It's about time we taught these boys of summer how to fight.”
Jon isn't having it with those sexist and ignorant concerns and explains that they need everyone to defend the north from the oncoming danger.
“Not just the boys," he says. "We can’t defend the North if only half the population is fighting.”
Lord Glover is shocked by Jon's request and says, “You expect me to put a spear in my granddaughter's hand?”
At this, Lyanna stands up and delivers a glorious speech about women fighting with the men.
"I don't plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me," Lyanna says. "I might be small, Lord Glover, and I might be a girl. But I am every bit as much a Northerner as you."
As Lord Glover struggles to explain his reasoning, Lyanna continues.
"And I don't need your permission to defend the North," she says. "We will begin training every man, woman, boy and girl on Bear Island."
Viewers were ecstatic by Lyanna's response.

— Becky (@beckysulllivan) July 17, 2017It's safe to say to "Game of Thrones" fans are more than excited to see how Lyanna works with Jon to fight the White Walkers. She knows how to lead a small but fierce army, and we are here for it.
