The weird part about this is how most people really have no clue about medieval gender roles and dynamics. Women were not nearly as downtrodden as a lit of people, feminists included, like to believe. In a lot of cases, they held a lot of the power in their households because more often than not, they were the ones managing the finances. And men were not that much Vetter off if they were serfs.

I'm fine with both medievalesque fantasies that have egalitarian gender roles and medievalesque fantasies that have historically accurate gender roles. But what I can't stand are stories/authors that pretend their OTT misogyny is required because of "realism" when it's really not historically accurate at all.
