The notion that any acknowledgement that certain factors may make a woman more or less impacted by misogyny - economic class, culture of origin, etc. - is some sort of anti-feminist propaganda produced by the false prophets of the third wave to discredit feminism has become increasingly popular among radfems. This isn't correct. At the Seneca Falls women's rights convention in 1848, the Declaration of Sentiments was drafted by prominent suffragettes Lucretia Mott, Martha C. Wright, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Mary Ann McClintock in which they stated that they had "not in their own experience endured the courser forms of tyranny resulting from unjust laws, or association with immoral and unscrupulous men, but [they] had souls large enough to feel the wrongs of others, without being scarified in [their] own flesh." First wave feminists of privilege had no qualms with recognizing this. The insistence of radfems that all women are equal under misogyny is a deviation. The damage done to feminism by rich college girls who identify as oppressed is immeasurable. One key example is the way the idea that there was a campus rape crisis absolutely dominated feminist discussion and media in the 2010s, despite the fact that college campuses have rates of sexual assault that are much lower than average. Why did this happen? The answer is simple. Because the privileged women who had the mic in the 2010s, unlike those who had it in the 1840s, chose to use their visibility to give themselves attention and feed their victim complexes instead of bringing attention to demographics of women that actually experience very high rates of sexual assault.

Radfems, or radical feminists, or second wave feminists, or whatever word we want to use here do not say women aren't on multiple axes of oppression. "rich college girls" are women and therefore experience sex-based oppression. I suppose in your mind they're rich and at college so they must be white, and if they are then they have white privilege. et cetera et cetera yadda yadda for any other axis you can think of. So anyway...dunno who you've been reading but it sounds like you made up fake women in your head to be mad at and then came to yell at me about it, and so I'm assuming you wanted a grade from me. I can only give you a D- on your short, poorly sourced essay sorry :/

Here are a few historical examples of palace intrigues:

1. Byzantine Empire: Empress Theodora and Justinian I

Context: Empress Theodora, wife of Emperor Justinian I, played a crucial role in the politics of the Byzantine Empire during the 6th century.

Intrigues: Theodora was involved in various plots and political maneuvers to secure her husband’s position and influence the empire’s policies. She is believed to have orchestrated the downfall of her political enemies and used her influence to advocate for women’s rights and social reforms.

Impact: Her actions helped maintain Justinian's power and significantly impacted Byzantine law and society.

2. Tudor England: Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII

Context: The rise and fall of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII of England, is a classic example of palace intrigue during the 16th century.

Intrigues: Anne Boleyn's relationship with Henry VIII led to the king's break with the Roman Catholic Church and the establishment of the Church of England. Her rise to power involved outmaneuvering Queen Catherine and numerous courtiers. Later, Anne fell victim to political plots and accusations led by Thomas Cromwell and others who saw her as a threat.

Impact: Anne Boleyn's execution marked a significant moment in English history, affecting the religious and political landscape of the nation.

3. French Court: The Affair of the Diamond Necklace

Context: This scandal in the 1780s involved Queen Marie Antoinette of France and a fraudulent scheme to acquire a lavish diamond necklace.

Intrigues: Jeanne de la Motte, a con artist, used forged letters and manipulated Cardinal de Rohan into believing that he was acting on behalf of the queen to purchase the necklace. The exposure of the scheme damaged Marie Antoinette’s reputation and added to the public’s growing discontent with the monarchy.

Impact: The affair contributed to the anti-monarchical sentiment that eventually led to the French Revolution.

4. Ming Dynasty: The Eunuch Faction

Context: During the late Ming Dynasty in China, the court was rife with power struggles between eunuchs and Confucian scholars.

Intrigues: Eunuchs, who held significant administrative power, often engaged in palace intrigues to control the emperor and manipulate state affairs. One notable figure was Wei Zhongxian, a powerful eunuch who dominated the court during the reign of the Tianqi Emperor.

Impact: The corruption and political infighting weakened the Ming government and contributed to its eventual collapse.

These examples illustrate how palace intrigues have shaped historical events and the balance of power within royal courts.

NATIONAL WOMEN’S EQUALITY DAY!

The U.S. Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution granting women full and equal voting rights on this day in 1920. Every year on August 26, we commemorate this right with National Women’s Equality Day.

BIRTH OF A MOVEMENT: While in London at the World Anti-Slavery Convention 1840, several women were denied access to the convention floor planting the seeds for a women’s rights movement. Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Staton, along with Martha Wright, Mary Ann McClintock, and Jane Hunt, set in motion plans for the first woman’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Held at Wesleyan Chapel on July 19-20, 1848, the conference drew 200 women on the first day. On the second day, the convention opened to men, and some did attend.

During the convention, leaders presented 12 resolutions. They enumerated in the rights that women should be equal to men socially, economically, legally and representatively. Of the resolutions, all but the 9th were approved unanimously. The right to vote created concern. Many women felt it would cause large numbers of their backers to withdraw their support. However, after much debate and the support of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, the 9th resolution also passed.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE: Woman’s suffrage began in earnest in the U.S. then. Another advocate, Susan B. Anthony, joined Stanton in 1869 to create the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Through nearly ten years of persistence and lobbying, the NWSA introduced an amendment in 1878. Despite years of debate and finally to the floor of Congress in 1886, only to be defeated.

Ultimately, it would take another 34 years before a new amendment made it to Congress. For several years, advocates continued passing the batons. New states entered the union. Their constitutions included rights for women that states before them never had – the right to vote. Civil disobedience ensued. Eventually, with women gaining equality, Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.

A mural I finished this May at Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, NY

[madame-coquette]

Name: Henriette - Anne of England || Henriette - Anne la princesse d'Angleterre 

• Raised protestant, but converted to Catholicism once she was sent to live in the french court with Queen Anne & her cousin Louis XIV.

•  When she was 11, 17 year old Louis refused to dance with her in favor of Anne-Lucie de La Motte because Henriette - Anne was a ‘ little girl ’. 

• Was passed over as a possible spouse for Louis in favor of the Infanta Marie - Thérèse, Queen Anne’s Niece. Which Louis found agreeable at the start. 

• Henriette - Anne grew up beautiful, witty & immensely loyal to her cousin Louis. 

• Something about her made everyone love her, reportedly.  

• Noted as an incredible Equestrienne.

• Later, married ‘ Monsieur ‘ -> Louis XIV’s brother, Prince Philippe I the Duc d’Orléans. The Duke was either gay or bisexual and as such, was only reportedly interested in his 16 -17 year old bride for a short interval ( about 6 weeks reportedly ) before he flipped his attention back to the Chevalier de Lorraine. ( Fuckin’ hate these dudes for so many reasons I need to be sober to discuss. ) 

• The marriage to her cousin’s brother was very disagreeable and while she fell further into the arms of King Louis --- she was treated worse and worse by her husband and his ‘ lover ( ? ) ‘. Monsieur was reported to have said he would stop loving her if his favorite could not be added to their marriage.

• Had children with Philippe only --- though her love for Louis was probably less than platonic. 

• Brokered an agreement of alliance between England and France against the Dutch. 

• Henriette - Anne used Louise - Françoise de La Vallière as a cover to keep seeing her broth-in-law. Later a lover of the King’s choosing ! 

• Died suddenly after a sudden pain sprang up in her side, she expressed the idea that perhaps she was poisoned, ( speculation fell on her husband and his lover ) though both were considered innocent. 

• Before her death, she reminded the King that she as his most loyal confidant above all others. 

• Louis was HEARTBROKEN over this loss and ordered a state funeral for her. 

Heather’s Rating: 8/10. The suffering and sadness I felt reading about poor Henriette - Anne, coupled with her service to france gives her a definitively higher ranking than most Mistresses.

Mary Austin ❤

Freddie a 24. születésnapján, 1970. szeptember 5-én összeszedte a bátorságát és randira hívta Maryt, azonban a lány nemet mondott. Freddie nem fogadta el a nemleges választ, és addig próbálkozott, amíg Mary rábólintott. 1970. szeptember 30-án Freddie elvitte őt a londoni The Marqueeba, egy Mott The Hoople koncertre. Freddie teljesen lenyűgözte Maryt: „Még sosem találkoztam hozzá foghatóval. Velem ellentétben, ő nagyon határozott volt.” – mesélte később Mary.

5 hónappal később a szerelmes pár összeköltözött a kensingtoni Victoria Road 2. szám alatti garzonlakásba, amelyért heti 10 fontot fizettek, és velük tartott a két macskájuk is, Tom és Jerry. „Csak egy függönyre telt, úgyhogy azt a szobába tettük fel. Freddienek akkor nem volt valami sok pénze, úgyhogy ugyan úgy éltünk, mint bármelyik más fiatal pár. Vagy 3 évbe telt, hogy igazán beleszeressek. Még senki iránt nem éreztem így.” – mondta Mary. Brian így emlékezett vissza rájuk: „Freddie nagyon boldog volt Maryvel, nagyon szerették egymást. Azt hiszem fogalmazhatunk úgy, hogy Mary volt Freddie nagy szerelme.”.

Ebben az időszakban nyilván senki sem gondolta, hogy Freddie homoszexuális lehet, a kapcsolatuk elején Mary sem vette észre, hogy Freddienek homoszexuális hajlamai lennének. Nem sokkal később Mary bemutatta őt a szüleinek, azonban Freddie nem kevésbé hajlott rá, hogy bemutassa otthon az újdonsült barátnőjét. Hiába nevezte őt az élete párjának, valójában sosem szándékozta elvenni feleségül. A kapcsolatuk elején Freddie minden gondolata Mary körül forgott és tökéletesnek bizonyult számára ez a kapcsolat. Mary a barátja, a lelki társa és egyfajta anyafigura lett számára. Egyértelműen mélyen és szenvedélyesen szerette, de míg Mary feladta az életét Freddiért, addig neki ott volt a karrierje és a férfiak iránti vonzalma.

**************************************************************************

On his 24th birthday, September 5, 1970, Freddie gathered his courage and called Mary on a date, but the girl said no. Freddie refuses to accept the negative choice and tries while Mary nodded. On September 30, 1970, Freddie took her to The Marquee, for the Mott The Hoople concert. Freddie completely impressed Mary: “I've never met nobody like him. Unlike me, he was very determined. " -said Mary later.

Five months later, the loving couple moved into a flatlet on Victoria Road 2 in Kensington for £ 10 a week, with their two cats, Tom and Jerry. “There was only one curtain, so we put it in the room. Freddie didn't have a lot of money back then, so we lived like any other young couple. It took me 3 years to really fall in love. I have never felt this way towards anyone.” - said Mary. Brian remembered them: “Freddie was very happy with Mary, they loved each other very much. I think we could say that Mary was Freddie's great love.".

At this time, obviously no one thought that Freddie could be gay, and at the beginning of their relationship, Mary did not even notice that Freddie had a homosexual predisposition. Soon after, Mary introduced him to her parents, but Freddie was no less inclined to introduce his new girlfriend at home. Although he had called her the couple of his life, he had never intended to marry her. At the beginning of their relationship, all of Freddie's thoughts revolved around Mary and this relationship proved to be perfect for him. Mary became a friend, a soul mate, and a kind of mother figure. He clearly loved her deeply and passionately, but while Mary gave up her life for Freddie, he had his career and leaning for men.

The Calling by Hussein Ahdieh and Hillary Chapman describes Tahirih (Qurrat al-‘Ayn), the trailblazing female nineteenth century Iranian poet, theologian and religious-revolutionary leader in a fresh, new manner, juxtaposing and interweaving her life and work with that of her American contemporaries--Mother Ann Lee, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Olympia Brown, Ellen White and Mary Baker Eddy--women whose existence she was probably not aware of, but who shared with her a spiritual bond and vision of progress and justice. In 1852 she was executed by a state fearful of her message. Her last words were “You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women.”It is available now in English and soon in Perisan language.https://www.amazon.com/Calling-Tahirih-Persia-American-Contemporaries/dp/1588141454/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=hussein ahdieh

365 Day Movie Challenge (2019) - #102: The Notorious Bettie Page (2005) - dir. Mary Harron (52 Films by Women 2019: #17)

Few directors have a grasp on human nature quite like Mary Harron, whose films I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) and American Psycho (2000) impressed me with their studies of sex, violence and pop culture while still remaining committed to their character-driven narratives. Harron reteamed with her American Psycho screenwriter, Guinevere Turner, for The Notorious Bettie Page, a biopic of the “Queen of Pinups” whose uninhibited sexuality challenged the United States’ social mores in the 1950s.

Gretchen Mol breathes life into the title role of Bettie Page (1923-2008), a Nashville-born woman whose attitudes toward sexual expression were shaped by a childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her father Roy (Jack Gilpin), a difficult marriage to high school sweetheart Billy Neal (Norman Reedus) during World War II and a gang rape that occurred when Bettie first visited New York City in the late 40s. Initially, her decision to become a model is merely a way to pay the bills until her dream of an acting career pans out, but as the photography gigs start to require more suggestive poses and fewer articles of clothing, Bettie begins to embrace the beauty of nudity. She is a champion of body positivity.

In the employ of bondage photographers Irving (Chris Bauer) and Paula Klaw (Lili Taylor), Bettie finds a warm, welcoming community of people who appreciate her frankness and enthusiasm for her profession. She finds further support from coworkers like fetish filmmaker John Willie (Jared Harris at his most devilishly charming), Miami-based photographer Bunny Yeager (Sarah Paulson) and model-turned-entrepreneur Maxie (Cara Seymour), all of whom encourage Bettie more than her prudish boyfriend Marvin (Jonathan M. Woodward), her standoffish mother Edna (Ann Dowd) or the New York acting teacher (Austin Pendleton) whose dramatic exercises prefer pretension to real emotion.

Some time is devoted to Senator Estes Kefauver’s (David Strathairn) hearings investigating the Klaws and Bettie Page’s business - an attempt to stamp out material considered indecent and pornographic - but Mary Harron always keeps the focus on Bettie’s strength, intelligence and dignity. When she rediscovers religion, inspiring her to drop out of the pin-up world, the move is shown as something she genuinely wanted, not because she felt remorse for her actions; she is proud of her past and does not regret it. Thanks to Gretchen Mol and the many other superb performers, Harron and Turner’s screenplay and the combined B&W/color cinematography by W. Mott Hupfel III, The Notorious Bettie Page is an excellent and sympathetic depiction of its beguiling subject.
