And like you said, a lot of it is probably historically accurate - that doesn't make it okay or acceptable, but it's fitting for the story and the time it's set in. But it's just so heartbreaking, isn't it?!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-80867729006030857452016-11-25T10:01:47.477+00:002016-11-25T10:01:47.477+00:00READ THE THING AND FEEL OUR PATROCLUS-RELATED PAIN...READ THE THING AND FEEL OUR PATROCLUS-RELATED PAIN!!!!!!!! ;)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-66295700074832188342016-11-25T08:34:35.082+00:002016-11-25T08:34:35.082+00:00SO I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS AND I'M REALLY ...SO I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS AND I'M REALLY EXCITED.

It's a shame about such a bad portrayal of woman though. It kind of breaks my heart a little bit as well. I just think even if you are trying to refer to the past, there will at least the odd strong female character.
