will fit into that category um let's see i would say not exactly because she would have she was not going out looking i think to satisfy her libido right good point you know and she made use of her sexual attractiveness and if we accept the sort of

traditional narrative she was trained in the arts of love and she used that as a tool to achieve a comfortable lifestyle and to bring herself close to the king but i don't think she was acting like a man she wasn't pursuing lovers i think she was enjoying her sexuality like a woman

That's fair.

She wanted a secure and comfortable life, right?

And who can blame her for that?

She wanted a pleasant life.

I mean, think of what life was like in the 18th century.

Wouldn't you want...

Oh, I have a nice place to live and good food.

And, and, and yeah.

And so, so I think that, I think that her concerns were very different than a man's concerns, right?

Her, the way that she saw the world because of her status, because, because gender dictated so many things about one's life, especially if you were not born, um, to the manner born, um,

You know, you had to strategize and make use of the skills and the opportunities and the gifts you had.

I'm on Threads and Blue Sky, although not all that much.

I post on those periodically, but CM Adams 41 on Threads.

and Prof. Chris Adams on Blue Sky.

And I occasionally, I publish opinion pieces occasionally.

I'm sort of interested in modern politics and what we can learn from the past about them.

So I've written for Made by History, which used to be at the Washington Post and then was at Time Magazine and is now moving to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Or send me an email.
