Your typical Victorian etiquette book had like, literally hundreds of rules. Maybe over a thousand. Did people actually follow this stuff like when they were out at bars shooting the shit with their friends, or was it mainly intended for aristocratic 'balls' and shit like that? A lot of it honestly seems like it's aimed at young people who weren't married yet: for example there's a lot of stuff about how hosts will pair up a man and a woman and how they don't have any say in who they're paired with and that after they are paired there are like several situations where it's required for the man to have his hands on the woman's body. They didn't do this to married people, did they?!?

>>16804581If you read the book you'd know it's primarily feminist based and around the timeBut yes, these were books aimed at girls and women and were mostly for middle class peopleLower class for example, would struggle even reading the fucking thing based on lack of education alone. Not to mention many things for lower class/poors would have been alien to them. There's no mention of reusing clothes from older family members, etc. It's primarily aimed at people who are middle class and can afford to do the things in the book
>>16804630>primarily feminist basedIn what sense? I thought these books placed great importance on women being feminine and ladylike, an expectation that feminists always seethe about.
>>16804667>I thought these books placed great importance on women being feminine and ladylike, an expectation that feminists always seethe about.They also place a lot of emphasis on men serving as womens' personal Butlers. Like, for example, men are expected to escort women to their seats, pull out their chairs for them, etc.
>>16804808That's what gentlemen did back then.
>>16804667Feminism evolves, anonYes, as >>16804808 stated the obvious ones are there like allowing men to 'lead' in a way that is acceptable to youUltimately, books like these are aimed at women who can afford to keep the status quo. Feminism originally came from the concept of women who were fucked over by not having a man to begin withImagine two scenarios: rich woman talks to her husband he votes after hearing her opinion and taken it into account vs woman can't have any sort of voice since she has no man to vote
>>16804581Women should never be allowed to congregate in large numbers. They inevitably come up with the most evil stupid bullshit to compete with one another. As much as possible, female patterned thinking has to be removed from them. In the same way that children need to be taught to think like adults; you can’t let children congregate.
Farmers are pieces of shit who created the agrarian revolution glorifying weaklings.agriculture promotes weaker men and the rise of women. The only activity farmers need to do is get up in the morning and planting stuff. Woah. And farmers are naturally centralized which gives women more power by giving them a bigger pool of beta cuk devotees.So there you have it: beyond hunter gatherer, the ruling class appears and it's full of merchants controlling the money market and women controlling the sex market.
