The lower classes and the poor had it the worst but it didn't sound like a picnic for the upper crust, either. Women of good breeding weren't supposed to work, even if they actually needed money. If you didn't have money of your own, you were dependent upon male relatives and your best shot at a happy life was marrying a rich man. Being a spinster sucked. If you really needed money, your respectable options were being a governess or a lady's companion and socially you were stranded in this limbo between being beneath the family you worked for, but too good to socialize with the servants.

I'm glad not to be a woman in Victorian times is what I'm saying.

We don't have it much better today.

Of course we do, silly radfem. You and I are posting these comments on the internet, where we can communicate to people on the other sides of the world. Do you think women had that freedom in Victorian times? I'm wearing pants even as I type instead of a corset and a bustle. It's dark out and it's winter, but my house is heated and I have an electric lamp in every room of my house. It's past 11pm, but I can go outside by myself or make a trip to Wal Mart and nobody brands me a slut for walking around unaccompanied by a male member of my family or a servant. When I come back, I could get on Tindr and try online dating, instead of being forced to marry for money or have my parents choose my spouse. If I'm on my period I can buy my own tampons rather than making my own from rags and then "retiring" to my rooms until it's over.

We have it lots better today. Please do try not to be so ridiculous.
