complaintificate:popularlesbian:jasper-rolls:the more things change the more they stay the samePretty sure I’ve said “come out you bitch I’ll maul you” word for wordThis got me thinking about a very specific exchange but I couldn’t remember the book. Finally found my notes on it from 5 years ago:· for the same reasons they regulatedmarriages, authorities attempted to make women behave as the virtuous wives ofthe advice books (94)· women’s alternative forms of power: verbalstings, physical fights, and illicit sexual activity (94-5)· failing to act deferantially to englishgentlemen and plantation commanders· “kiss my arse” -Ann Fowler· punishments for slandering higher classes· power of women’s gossip on authority· physical assaults (95-6)Apparently I don’t have this book anymore, but if anyone wants to look it up it’s Good Wives, Nasty Wenches & Anxious Patriarchs. The numbers in parentheses are page numbers. -- source link
