journal entry 2

Journal Entry 2.
Woman in old England and around the world were treated so poorly. Now I know how some people can be sexist toward woman. Because they think that woman are just objects and not people. It comes from old England. Woman were and were always told that they were objects used for whatever the husband wanted. And Woman couldn’t marry for love or anything. A lot of this stuff I did not know before but now…whew. Its amazing how terrible people’s attitudes toward woman were back in the old times. What shocked me was that almost 70 or 80% percent of woman who give birth died and children either died at birth or a few years later. And if woman did survive pregnancy, they would be left physically scarred for life. It shocks me that people would actually believe that educated woman were stupid and evil and that woman were the bearer or something of original sin. Well I did not know that wife beating was normal for a guy and that if he wanted to and if he was royalty, he could slaughter his wife and then marry again. The catholic church in that time was just evil.
