I totally get it if she works the same amount of time as her husband but after coming home also has to do all the household chores.

I don't disagree, but OP's unhinged as hell

Pro-tip, those restaurants that feature jousting are not historically accurate.

1) serfs got kicked from the land all the fucking time. While a serf was not allowed to choose to leave, his lord could punt him and the family into the wilderness for any fucking reason.

2) the serf and their families didn't get to eat until their taxes were effectively paid. Failing to pay the Lord meant your shit at the very least was confiscated and your family starved.

3) lol it didn't matter what color people were as serfs were all covered in shit.

4) the Lord of the manor could literally rape your kids and butcher you in the street and it was his right to do so.

5) it was also a wonderful excuse to butcher and cleanse entire countries of Protestants and Catholics, depending on which country we are talking about.

Lol Americans and their education.

Ur wrong
1) serfs had a lawfully protected place. Labor was always scarce so you could just go to the next manor and ask for a field.
2) feudal duties went both ways, and taxes werent as high as you think they were. Often it was something like "a fat pig at the end of the year" or "a tenth of harvest". If the harvest failed, you'd starve either way, taxes or no taxes. Also not all taxes was in money or in kind. Lots of serfs just had to work x amount of days a year for the lord, often 40.
3) they weren't. At most, their hands were a bit dirty from working in the earth all-day.
4) enlightenment era cuck fantasies. Prima nocta did not exist. If the lord murdered someone randomly, he'd be arrested and executed
5) the religious wars were just covers for political struggles within the various kingdoms. The common man did not care for it really.

You gotta wonder what hole this guy crawled out of to be able to claim that scraping by with your no-fertilizer potato harvest, giving half your crop to your Lord, and then starving to death in the dead of winter as he prima noctas your new peasant wife in his keep is better than the degenerate cozy life he now leads from his basement

An infinitely more educated it seems, since you clearly do not know what the fuck you're talking about.

0/10 you both failed history of the middle ages. Open a fucking book.

but the idea that nobles would torture their subjects on a whim for sick kicks is an exaggeration

She says later in the thread she has no kids (claims to be "childfree by choice") and implies she has no partner either. This is just a bitter cat lady.

He wasn't doing it for shits and giggles, he just thought torture murder was the best way to achieve an ideal society. Think of him as the proto-gulag.

So you don't. Okay, well Vlad was notable for torturing boyars. Boyars are noblemen. He specifically tortured traitorous noblemen who sided with the Ottoman Turkish and Saxon invaders instead of helping the kingdom defend itself.

The peasants saw him as a folk hero for standing up to the Ottomans who were kidnapping and enslaving their children. Even to this day he's viewed as a folk hero in Romania for holding the line against Islam and fostering the nation's heartland in a time when Wallachia was on the verge of being eaten by its neighbors.

That while he did good in kicking Ottomon asses, he also was a sick fuck who locked the poor of his country into one of his homes and set the place ablaze for the lulz.

Of course they would. If you knew your ruler had no issue with roasting you like a Christmas goose, you'd say good things about him too.

Also, already acknowledged he did do good by keeping out one of the sickest and brutal empires of human history off his turf. But then again, if your defender has no issue with being someone out of a horror film...

No historian actually believes that happened. It's literally made up. The best you have is a fabricated story from a few hundred years after he died.

So where did it come from? I keep hearing that stereotypes and myths always have a seed of truth to them.

I don't want to let this get too off-topic, but it originates in the succession war between Basarab the Old and his Ottoman and Saxon allies and Vlad Dracula. Basarab, through the merchant guilds, insinuated to the King of Hungary that Vlad was plotting against him with the Ottomans and got him arrested after he lost a major battle with the Ottomans and fled to Hungary.

The courtiers of the King of Hungary then spread the tales of his alleged cruelties (told to them by Basarab and the merchants) to the Holy Roman Empire where they became popular gossip. The story evolved rapidly as soon as it was put to type by booksellers, and the printing press led to Vlad stories being some of the most popular books in the German language before 1500. In the end, Vlad reconciled with the King once he figured out he was lied to, and he was released at the head of a Hungarian army to take back his throne.

So it's pretty much just atrocity porn for Germans that came out of third-hand wartime propaganda. The original purpose of the rumor was likely to convince King Matthias to execute Vlad so he wouldn't come back to Wallachia with another army.

Turning children into pawns in mindgames between the spouses is cruelty and I will never support anyone that even lightly implies it, even if their other points seem valid. OP is not for "women's rights", they're for "getting back at eebil menz".

Some other poster mentions that the OP does not in fact have any children/partner so at least we have that.

 

[FFinfo]

You have convinced me. Clearly the serfs had it so much easier than us modern wage cucks. The way we slave for money when we could just till the land.

I might be misunderstanding the argument that's presented there: I think the idea is that the smaller scale of serfdom/manorialism due to its more localized nature meant that the Boss Man needed to at least try not to be so much of an asshole because he was literally surrounded by his employees and there was only so much shit they would take. Compare that to now, where everything is abstracted to such high detached levels that you might be shit out of luck along with ten thousand other overworked underpaid people who all throw all their time for pennies on the dollar to enrich a network of assholes in a PMC-guarded hundred million dollar penthouse four thousand miles away.

The removal of accountability is a real issue worth bringing up in modern government and economics in general. That obfuscation is intentional. That doesn't mean it's a return to monke moment, though.

Yeah that's the only good part about this. She's not subjecting anyone to her insanity except us online weirdos. Thank goodness for small blessings I guess.
