A Brief Response to: ON WOMENS RIGHTS

[!] Pinned to the same boards as the missive, ON WOMENS RIGHTS, and just below it the following response is seen printed in dark ink on fine paper. The missives seem to have been made on a printing press..!

 

 

In recent months I have heard the titter of gossip about papers going out, calling for women’s rights, women’s equality, so on and so forth. To the authors of these letters I say: You are blind. 

 

Quite simply, in the last hundred years or so, there has been little evidence of women being explicitly denied rights. The women who wear heavy dresses of lace and silk, the women who birth and raise half a dozen children, and the women who stay home to care for their families are not a fault on womankind. They more often than not are very happy to do such, to live a feminine and virtuous life. It is also true that women in recent decades have inherited titles, lands, and fortunes from their fathers and brothers rightfully and legally. Wills are written by fathers and brothers, naming such women who show great initiative and cleverness as their legal heirs. In addition, for hundreds of years, women have worked as business owners, making great fortunes of their own with skill and cunning. Women are also welcomed into most every army across the entire continent, should they have the bravery and skill to do so. Finally, I will point out that women across our great Empire have the same rights to vote, to own property, to fair trial and free speech, to be elected as a government official, so on and so forth. Women have possessed the same rights as their male counterparts for many iterations of government, including our current administration. 

 

Women of the Empire, women of Arcas: Do not let these air headed fools tell you that you are not equal, that you cannot make your own way in this world. Those who claim such can easily be written off as lazy, without initiative, and full of complaints. 

 

Any woman who chooses to work hard for her own destiny may achieve such, without shouting to the winds about some false, perceived unfairness upon her.

Arianne sips her tea, which had been produced in the Res Peccing Woemin region of somewhere nice.  She nods in approval.
