there has GOT to be a way to explain anne boleyn's proto-feminism and importance to history without absolutely shitting on katherine of aragon and acting as if she was basically set dressing for her entire marriage rather than a person in her own right and an important one at that, but i think a lot of stanne's are just virulently misogynistic so they're physically incapable of doing so

#personal #'anne was not catherine content to sit around and be paraded and sew her husband's shirts she hired a shirtmaker' dear god in heaven shut U #stanne's are incapable of viewing feminism through any other lens than 'not like the other girls'#like you do not need to constantly tear down all these other women from the era #and their importance to history - especially katherine #just to make anne look like some miracle #(i think a lot about that person who said anne was the most significant queen in english history)#(when she was a consort for only three years while england has had like six actual queen regnants including her own fucking daughter)#like there's this tendency people have to try and highlight anne's importance by just shitting on any other woman tangentially close to her #especially katherine cuz you know rivalry and all #like it's just deeply misogynistic i'm sorry #the inability to recognize the importance of the role katherine had as a consort and also as a person and a queen herself #it's just misogyny because she wasn't doing it in some fucking katniss everdeen way #anyway that's my contribution to anne's death day sorry girl but your fans are a fucking nightmare
