1980s was not the modern era. Social attitudes about gender have changed a lot in the last forty years, and things still aren't equal.

Besides, nobody's claiming it was a sensible way to do things. Just like pay inequality, lack of paid maternity leave.... None of that is sensible, but not changeable by us as individuals just because we know it's fucking stupid.

Sure, but none of that means that the royal family did nothing wrong and Diana should simply have expected it and it's her own fault for getting uppity ideas about being a human person and not merely a bearer of children

which is the way people talk about it

DA - God, won't ANYONE ever think of the feelings of poor, perfect, innocent, angelic Diana in all this?!

Do I condone extramarital affairs? No, I do not. That goes for ALL parties involved. Do I condone 40-year-long Virgin vs. Whore debates? No, I do not.

Of course CPB isn't in the wrong either.

But you've had people here the last couple weeks acting like it was reasonable for the royal family to expect Diana to be a broodmare.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. That was your looking-for-a-fight reading of it, or a very willful refusal to understand what people are saying. Hint: people were saying that's what the royal family expected of Diana, and that may have been partly how they viewed her role in their family. The fine nuance is escaping you.

... but nobody here is saying Charles and the royal family were blameless, and here is where you're having this discussion. So who are you arguing with, exactly?
