Wait, when you said this, I checked and I thought she actually reigned at some point. Yeah, before AegonII, she was the only heir to Viserys, but who knows if she would've ruled?
When the Lord Commander was explaining about Aemon's past to Jon: "and Daeron's girl was a lackwit besides being female, so they had no choice but to turn to Aemon's younger brother-Aegon..."

I never said she reigned, but she was indeed the rightful heir until a son appeared. In that example, I think it's also because she lacks the capability, he implies that she could have been a choice had she been strong.
Most of all, though, I think the fact that Robert was so keen to have both Viserys and Daenerys murdered says a lot. They also kill both of Rhaegar's children, the daughter as well, though were not instructed to kill their mother, so if daughters didn't matter then I don't think they would have killed Rhaenys as well, but who knows.

Yeah, I know you didn't say that, just thought I read it that way the first time.
I do agree that it seems she could've inherited the throne. I guess the family that's in power will do whatever they have to, especially a family like the Targaryens - if there's no male heir, they've still got to keep it in the family somehow.
