What? There are tons of writings from women from the middle ages. Marie de France, Christine de Pizan, Heloise just to name a few.
Be me
catholic church is half the reason why most people were literate in the west after rome's fall
well, among those who were literate I mean
You're 500 years too late, bud.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:14
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
1 John 5:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:19-20
What do you mean by this?
Most people couldn't.
that's just flat out lies though. Some nuns were able to write and read, Hildegaard, for example, wrote a lot of music and books. It's just that, unlike today, women weren't running around chasing """success""" and instead were chasing vocation.
Most people couldn't read and write, historically.
Submissive somehow implies men were tyrannical or that women didn't have autonomy in their own spheres.
All societies have hierarchies of responsibilities. Kings were supported by the people and many were deposed.
The inquisition didn't even execute many people compared to the French Revolution or any other leftist revolution.
The Church never wrote or enforced laws, nations's mostly operated their own legal system and means of enforcement.
Implying expansionist Islamic Caliphate wasn't a reason.
I never said people couldn't read, idiot. Clergy, nobility and wealthy could read and write. The average person generally could not.
