Pink Victorian Italianate alert and she's a beauty. 1869 lady in lovely Belvidere, New Jersey. 5bds, 3ba, $584K. Nicely renovated in 2000.
It looks like the entrance hall has a faux marble finish on the the stairs and molding. I wonder if that's wall paper. Interesting. The railing is definitely original.
Wow, they really love this home- look at all the decor and they went for Bradbury and Bradbury wallpaper on the walls and ceilings. I'm surprised that it's under $1M, but Belvidere is a quaint country area up in the north western corner of NJ with a population of a little over 2500.
Actually, annual Victorian Days celebrate the town's history, and there's a lot of stuff to celebrate!
Fancy pocket doors open from the sitting room to the dining room. Check out that green fireplace. They had professionally painted faux finishes done throughout the home.
I don't mind the kitchen remodel b/c of the castle-like stone wallpaper and stained glass window.
Here's a cute little room.
A home like this, I would be hesitant to buy, though, b/c I know I could never be able to furnish it properly. It takes years to fill a house like this.
Beautiful- this bedroom is done in a vintage tropical motif.
What a lovely bathroom. I would get one of those Victorian reproduction toilets though, w/the wooden tank above it.
I wish they would've taken photos of the upper floor, but the description says that professional photos are coming.
Fairytale princess room. I like how the canopy lights up.
Gorgeous. This bedroom has a little atelier.
Wow, look at this bed.
Stunning. If there's one thing I hate, it's went they put a modern bath in a Victorian- this is wonderful.
1.09 acres of beautifully landscaped property.
The original carriage house has a lot potential.
Beautiful piece of property.

misogyny in linguistics
everything containing “ 女 “ (female) in chinese character etymology means something negative, cunning, devious, dark, or to indicate a servant. studying and knowing all those characters sickens me to the core. confuscianism furthered this in east asia weakening women’s rights - before confuscianism, korean dynasties had female kings and some property rights.
though we often use different chinese characters in each cases, china - korea - japan
screenshots source
the origin of the “female” character is a woman kneeling
in other explanations in confuscian texts, it says it is an image of a person kneeling with their neck in a pillory
on the contrary, the letters for “man” 男 is a person with the power 力 to feed 10 十 (shi) 口 (gou) mouths= family
Wife as housemaid
a woman outside a home(under her husband) is not safe
women with other women are always plotting
a man is allowed to have multiple wives, especially if she does not bear children: but he does not generally need justification. a women should never be jealous, jealousy (contains chinese character for female) is one of the 7 sins that husbands could banish, or beat their wives for
women + hands = servant
add fire onto the mix of the same characters of “servant”, you got “anger”
a lot of negative emotions in chinese characters are associated with symbols of women
“Power” : women subjugated under a weapon
fraught mentions of female inferiority
남존여비 is a word often brought up in korean culture, as in males are precious and respectable “ 尊 ” and females are inferior by birth “ 卑 “ . Men are high, women are low. Gentlemen comes first
https://bild-lida.ca/educationalsociolinguistics/uncategorized/womens-oppression-and-chinese-characters/
嫌 for extreme “hate” = women
adultery = dark cunning thing that women do
not all chinese characters with “women” have bad meanings! Some have positive meanings soch as detailing women’s looks or her docility
there are few if not zero chinese characters with the male “ 男 “ used inside a character contrary to the female “ 女 “ as a descriptor.
