Queen, Not Feminist
January 12, 2017
1852: Queen Victoria of Great Britain (1819 – 1901)
“I AM most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of ‘Women’s Rights’, with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were woman to ‘unsex’ themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings, and would surely perish without male protection.”
—- Queen Victoria, 1870

A reader writes:
Might some think she is exaggerating? Her observation reminds me of this display and seems an apt description.
Never have I seen a more rabid group of females, nor a group of men whom I admire more.
