#HOW IS MY MOTHER...YK...THAT OTHER WOMAN THAT HAD ONLY A DAUGHTER WHICH IS PROOF GOD HAS ABANDONED HER
#ffs chapuys; know your audience!!
#anyway tl;dr these are all (obviously) fictional mary's so who knows if she ever expressed these sentiments
#but i didn't realize how common a feature this was until i came across the quote
#and you know. as you watch them. knowing the fictionalized mary is going to become the historical mary
#one can't help but be like damn if this not going to come back to bite in 20 years...
#it also had me thinking of the double standards of mary i stans
#anne boleyn's stillbirths/miscarriages are how she 'fucked around and found out'
#which is not their attitude towards mary's phantom pregnancies
#nor should it be. but probably not for either; right?
#i think the fact of the matter is it's quite possible mary was never going to have been able to have children even had she married younger
#as much as it's possible anne might never have been able to carry any other pregnancies to term
#she was really not that 'old' when she married; royal women had had children at 38 and even later
#(mary that is)
#and if that's true it doesn't mean she had less worth as a human being or that it's...funny? like
#(that she never could have carried any pregnancies to term herself; that is)
#i'm not sure why they can only see that for one particular women and not any others somehow
#maybe we shouldn't be actually applying 16c principles on a woman's worth as we study them. just thinking out loud
#or be celebrating the stress and pressures they must have felt cornered by all sides by the expectations of the patriarchal system
#within which they had to survive...lol. lmao; even
