“…I read the record, which is written not just by men, but often by men who hate women. It’s an incredibly misogynistic record.”
Philippa Gregory

You don’t say. The bulk of early western history was recorded by the (male) clergy, being the only consistently literate class in Europe until well into the renaissance. Really, I would totally expect cloistered monks with little to no practical knowledge of women and a holy book that says flat out that they are the source of all bad things in the world to have a balanced view of gender politics. Yup.

Today’s dose of the painfully obvious (to me at least) has been brought to you by the letter Q and the number 3.

edit: As has been noted in the comments on DW, I was actually way off on most of the particulars. My own damn fault for engaging keyboard before brain.
