Your dedication to including medieval knowledge and even text to inform the common woman of how her rights have been systematically stripped away through the ages is both enlightening and necessary for growth to occur in us. Thank you for the immense amount of time you put into writing this well-penned essay!
Jamie, this comment is so uplifting. Thank you so much for taking the time to share these feelings with me, my heart is signing! I too find it so important we recognize that this suppression isn't new nor normal, and I'm grateful to connect over such a paradigm. Thank you for spending time with my words ❤️

Amen. Very well-said. If only there was a way to travel back in time to 1484, publish a counter-manifesto, and then take an *actual hammer* to the (then newly-invented) printing presses to prevent, or at least greatly delay, the publication of the Malleus Maleficarum and the load of papal bull that went with it. Then the horrific Burning Times (the patriarchal gynocidal counterrevolution) would have burned itself out before the worst of it, and women would still have had a chance at actually winning the gender war for good via their slow-burn revolution.
Such a good add on here. So many moments crafted to other women right into invisibility and it is absolutely heart wrenching. I always have the thought, I wonder what the 14/15C midwives would think if they saw the anti woman midwife propaganda—if they didn’t do it, no one would have so I’m sure such sentiments would have almost been a laugh. The men are going to deliver babies, please?!? 🙄 Thank you for spending your time here!!! 💜

Indeed. And the more things change, the more they stay the same, it seems.
