Also, as an aside, I side-eye the anti-Theloise crowd who act like the idea that a woman might care for someone enough to give up privilege and glamour for a man who is kind to her and whom she likes is absolutely unthinkable⊠meanwhile, itâs totally understandableâand romanticâwhen Benedict does it for Sophie.
Iâve long grown suspicious of the side of historical romance enjoyers who seem to delight in finding new ways to say and imply and enforce this idea that women are only allowed to marry within their classâand that if they go outside of it, they must marry up. Or, if they marry down, then that man must still be wealthy, own land, and be âworthyâ of her.
Fuck the poor. Fuck the thoughtful. Fuck the nice to her. Fuck the being delighted by her. Fuck the respecting her upon meeting her. Eloise needs a man who will make her struggle to become worthy of his respect. Eloise needs a man will force her to grow into a shape she never wanted to be in because the growth she has been capable of on her own is unimportant because it comes unattached to the dick of the most boring guy youâve ever read about. Eloise needs to fall out of love with feminist scholars because the idea that she could ever join them, become their peer, or become anything like them is apparently stupid.
Eloise needs a man whose idea of supporting her is ignoring her when he isnât sleeping with her and allowing her to do things like read and study. Donât you know! There are some men who donât let their wives do that. Really this is the best-case scenario for her and you should all stop complaining about it. (Do you hear Eloise complaining about it anymore? Don't worry all that bite has been trained out of her. It's hard to dig one's teeth into the hand that's drowning you when they've stolen them.)
