" No, I have nothing against feminists, but...."
Over at Bad RPers Suck, saber_0rlando asks Why does nobody want to RP medieval women who stay at home all day and cook?

"Does nobody want to stay true to canon and stay in her place and cook? Yes, there were exceptions to every rule, but in general, back then "feminism" as such barely existed. The average woman in the Middle Ages - even if she were noble - was a wife, mother, housekeeper, and had no rights or self-esteem, nor did it occur to her that things could be or should be different. At best, she was just she sat around and looked pretty and was objectified. I am not saying that that's the way it should be. That's how it was."

Most people reply saying something along the lines of "It's boring." But the winner is rann, who seems to think that the OP is wrong.

"Sounds exciting to me! I'll just have my character be at the cookfire, I'll make sure to pose it whenever I stir the pot, add some herbs, or stoke the fire!
BABY CAN YOU HANDLE THE INTENSITY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Wank-o-rama.
