Why didn’t the execution of Brunhilda end feminism forever as the ultimate warning?
>>18393113What happened??
>>18393118She was a total bitch queen consort that ruled Austrasia (Eastern France/Lowlands/Western Germany at the time) that was at war with Neustria (Western France/Normandy) constantly with her bitch rival Fredegund. They each had members of their families’ murdered all the time: husbands, sons, grandsons, etc. Brunhilda was royalty; Fredegund was a concubine that manipulated her way to the top. When her son finally captured Brunhilda, they tortured her for three days, then tied her hair and an arm and a leg to a wild horse to be dragged through the streets. Then, as a final act to finish her off, they tied each of her four limbs to four horses and whipped them to frenzy, pulling her apart alive.
>>18393127What a slut Honestly, I don't think all men are good rulers, but women and power definitely don't mix very well. Even citing thousands of examples of "good queens" won't change the fact that governance is a masculine thing. I'm surprised she's not the first or the only one, how did this shit even happen?
>>18393132Her accuser, King Chlothar, claimed that she had ten kings slain by her account, true or not. Some of them definitely were. I don’t know if she deserved the death she got, but she definitely had execution coming, and in 613 AD, the punishment kind of fits our collective notion of that era. Regardless, a woman reigning by terror should have been stopped to never be allowed again with the word spreading of her gruesome punishment, and still well remembered to this day.
>>18393113Where the fuck is the fourth horse? This picture angers me so much. You can't quarter someone with 3 horses.
>>18393146Sorry anon. It was depicted about a thousand years ago.
>>18393146Maybe they wanted to show what would happen to treacherous women and kept that view open so other monks and scribes could see to understand.
>>18393144Simp fuck off
>>18393166What simp? She deserved to die
>>18393113>feminismLMAO no, anon... I tend to believe that feminism may be biological and something inevitable. I see you like history; are you familiar with Modesta Pozzo? A proto-feminist who lived in 16th-century Venice wrote a work entitled "The Value of Women, Their Nobility and Superiority in Relation to Men." I'm not kidding. The work is like a fanfic about seven Venetian noblewomen that explores almost every aspect of the female experience. The following excerpts begin with comments from one of the women:>it’s not a case of being subject in the sense of obeying, but rather of suffering an imposition; not a case of serving them, but rather of tolerating them in a spirit of Christian charity, since they have been given to us by God as a spiritual trial. But they take the phrase in the contrary sense and set themselves up as tyrants over us, arrogantly usurping that domination over women that they claim is their right, but which is more properly ours.>A woman, when she is segregated from male contact, has something divine about her and can achieve miracles, as long as she retains her natural virginity. That certainly isn’t the case with men, because it is only when a man has taken a wife that he is considered a real man and that he reaches the peak of happiness, honor, and greatnessWomen hate men, it's sad but true. This modern segregation was supported by them.
>>18393166Plus, her death should have sent a message throughout the ages that female tyrants would suffer the worst imaginable punishment and should never be allowed to happen again. This was a far more memorable punishment than burning, one that has never been forgotten to history, if not to the popular consciousness as a warning, which it likely was before merchants took over the world.
>>18393188Interestingly, it was Venice and Florence that destroyed the Renaissance by devolving as we have commercially, where people weren’t paid enough to live anymore.
Don't you think that's something a feminist from California would say? Exactly. Even in "patriarchal" and "traditional" cultures, feminism always shows up, and the argument that they were taught doesn't apply here, because I doubt there was an attempt in 1500 to teach feminism en masse to women. I see feminism like the flu: it always appears and will always appear sooner or later; it all depends on how you react, whether you use decent remedies and take care of yourself, or whether you worsen the situation. Feminism is something feminine in my view.>And if you want further proof of women’s superior dignity and authority, just think about the fact that if a man is married to a wise, modest, and virtuous woman, even if he is the most ignorant, shameless, and corrupt creature who has ever lived, he will never, for all his wickedness, be able to tarnish his wife’s reputation in the least. But if, through some mischance, a woman is lured by some persistent and unscrupulous admirer into losing her honor, then her husband is instantly and utterly shamed and dishonored by her act, however good, wise, and respectable he may be himself — as if he depended on her, rather than she on him. And indeed, just as a pain in the head causes the whole body to languish, so when women (who are superior by nature and thus legitimately the head and superior of their husbands) suffer some affront, so their husbands , as appendages and dependents, are also subject to the same misfortune and come to share in the ills of their wives as well as in their good fortune.

>>18393198All societies are mens. Women get into positions of power and other women get foolish ideas into their heads. That is the feminism, hardly anything like we have today: full-blown gynocracy as a cover for the real rulers. Still, Brunhilda’s death should have made every woman of the early Medieval world shudder at the thought of their rise to power somehow. Any woman could end up a concubine, possibly to a ruler, and possibly sit on the throne as Fredegund did. Just because her son made the call on Brunhilda doesn’t mean that some concubine couldn’t end up like her, torn from limb to limb.

>>18393198OP, or really nobody else, is ready for this.
>>18393212No, that’s fair. Female nature cannot be held back without unrelenting force. You would think acts of extreme retribution for it would act as a bulwark to hold it back before the terror of fearsome acts would rise against the nail that sticks out.
>>18393212Society becomes oofy doofy without constant vigilance. I’ve been there personally; believe me I know.
