I would like to know exactly what all this power that women had back in the day was.

The power to be considered property? The power to die in childbirth?

You obviously don't read romance novels. The power of the twitching skirt and covered skin and constrained hair that tease and taunt the menfolk. Just withhold your favors. Women are totally able to control the men with the power of the magic vagina and flashes of ankle.

ETA: Me, too theoriginalbean. Thank goodness I have water separating me from the stupidity.

Guess that answers the question as to whether or not she votes for the sake of "authenticity."

I'm going to be that when the modern fire trucks show up to extinguish the fire that was accidentally set with their kerosene lamps, they won't shoo them away in favor of a bucket brigade, though.

This kind of reminds me of modern anti-vaxxers. Not old enough to realize the shit show that went on before all of our modern devices. Only thinking of the "olden days" as a golden era, and not a time that was hard. For lots of people.

Ooooh! Income tax was non-existent in the Victorian era! They could be the next Cliven Bundy.
