      It was a practice that persisted into the 20th century, maybe you should be the one to read a book.

          So her ruling until 1901 counts as reigning “into the 1900s”? Interesting. Also, the practice persisted in varying degrees of comonality into the early 1950’s when it finally died as it should have.

          Also, this is a very strange hill to die on. It really seems like you are more concerned with a satirical statement made in jest utilizing a historical context than you are the very real threat that this woman poses to the rights of our fellow citizens. She isn’t going to see this conversation, she will never know of my rudeness, she will never know nor care of my, or your, or anyone else here’s opinions of her or her policies. You fight a battle on behalf of a woman who would likely use your body as a bridge to cross a puddle you were drowning in rather than help you to stand, then blame you for there being a corpse in the road. I’ll even admit that that was ad hominem, but in this case I don’t really care. You obviously don’t care about making valid good faith arguments, so why should I? See, reciprocal social contracts in action.
