Tea at Trianon: The Greatest Lie of the Modern World

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

The Greatest Lie of the Modern World

From Of Home and Womanhood:

I was deep in the feminist movement where sentiments like these were very prevalent. I do think I would have ever argued that men and woman were the same, but I did believe that women could do all that men could, to the same degree. So I guess in a logical sense I did believe it, I just like many other feminists, loved to deny the logical conclusions of my own statements.
I truly believed women could be as strong as men, do the same jobs, accomplish the same things, and to the same degree. Truly a mass delusion.
But why have women been convinced that they need to be equal to men? It’s because feminism has made the male archetype the goal all women should strive for. Male qualities, accomplishments and behavior are what have been deemed as the standard. Despite feminists disliking so much of masculinity, they’ve made it their shrine, one to which all women must bow and strive for.
In their “goal” to make women equal to men, they’ve just erased womanhood.
And no matter how much propaganda we are fed, our bodies, our minds and our souls do not lie. We will never be the same, because we were not designed to be the same. (Read more.)
