Our daughter has finally got fed up with the expensive museum plaques which claim that boys were not allowed to cook and girls were not allowed to shoot before the 20th century enlightenment. We went to one historical museum where a plaque said, and I quote, 

Women’s clothes in particular were so restrictive it limited their activities and in many cases tightly laced corsets created internal and breathing problems for them. No wonder they took to the streets to demand the right to vote and to wear more practical clothing than what the Victorian-era societal norms dictated at the time! 

Obviously, the trashing of Victorian morals continues, with the simultaneous approval of certain Victorians, namely Freud, Darwin, Dewey, Sanger, Marx and others. We both get tired of the comments directed at us that the Victorian era was so primitive that, well, everyone just died. (We have a Victorian cemetery nearby that has many markers that say they died at age 101!!)

Anyway, I thought you would get a big kick out of my daughters recent post here, where she looks at the revealing death rate of the Victorians! This post contains graphic material, and is not for children or the infirm.
