Let's be perfectly honest here, you wouldn't last a day in the Victorian Era. Those women were hardier than you seem to think. You're thinking of some aristocratic waif who gently wastes away into the ether. Girl, sis, that ain't it. There was nothing romantic about the conditions at that time unless you were born of privilege. Hell, I'd even give you the Edwardian era for more romanticism. You could cosplay being a suffragette or at the tail end of it you could cosplay being a worried/grieving wife of a solider in WWI.
There was so much amazing literature and music written in that era. I do understand being drawn to a certain period in the past, but you need to have a well rounded view of it. It's not all gossamer and fainting sofas. If you truly feel drawn to it then learn about it properly. Don't cosplay your entire life. That's just sad.

How about DON’T talk like you live in the era where consumption was all the rage and women couldn’t own property? People who like to flaunt that they “just have a more old-fashioned way of speaking” are making it clear that they do so out of a sense of superiority and a lack of respect for the current times and modes of speech. Deiberately cultivating an outmoded way of speaking and writing makes it clear you find the current ways inferior and rubs people the wrong way, intimating that you’re

Her writing is exactly how history majors who want to focus on Victorian history write in their early education, until we beat it out of them. I don't know why they, in specific, think they need to affect that writing style. The Colonial history kids don't write in thees and thous.

The reason people talked that way back then is because they were pretentious as all fuck and obsessed with status, wealth, and ornamental, useless "stuff". They were so obsessed with decorating everything that they would make their otherwise practical household goods useless (ex: put so many carvings on a dining hall sideboard that you could no longer place dishes on it) because it proved they were so wealthy they didn't need to use their nice stuff. They could just have it around for looks while someone else pampered them. Same with language. This flowery ornamentation ended up in their language and it makes anyone who uses it now out of that context sound like a moron.


Edit: since I’m a big fan of book recommendations, Death in the Dining Room and Other Tales of Victorian Culture by David Ames is my favorite material culture book. Learn to read the semiotics of a chair the way a middle-class Victorian housewife understood it!

This "oopsies, didn't realise" bullshit isn't believable. You know what you're doing, you know it's overly flowery language, and you love pretending it makes you deep and insightful.

Why else do you ramble about 'the Gods' so much, if not to make people ask about it? (Btw, you slipped up earlier, with 'oh my lord'.) It's the same in your videos - you try really hard to make it seem genuine, but it's going through some kind of pretension filter and the delay is obvious. It reads and sounds like a high-school attempt at Ye Olde Englishe.

Everything you say and do is constructed to make people pay attention to you. The sad part is that is that most of us have met 5-year-old kids who do it more believably...

Oh dear.

Madame Milneaux has hit a few sharp notes in this one.

Firstly, though, I must defend myself and say "oh my Lord" was intentional. I was going to make it more clear that I was referring to Dionysus, but in an effort to avoid hitting you collectively over the head with the fact that I'm a pagan and possibly causing you to comment on that, I decided to leave the Christian ambiguity there. It apparently had the opposite effect. Secondly, although I'd rather not come out and say it directly, your intuition regarding my opinions on modern language and modern people by extension is spot-on. I believe dickensian writing is inherently superior, even if it originated for less than romantic reasons. That said, and I really want to emphasize this, I do not believe I have mastered it. I do not believe that I myself am on some higher plane of existence for having discovered Jane Austen. As you have noted, my way with words needs serious work. And maybe that work will involve figuring out how to synthesize it with a more contemporary style and make that somehow sound natural. The sad thing is my natural writing voice does tend to veer a little towards more modern expressions nowadays, and I still haven't quite gotten the hang of it because people still don't always respond well to that.

I should REALLY take your advice and take a few days off to lie in the shade and sip rosewater lemonade. I announced on Instagram that I was going to do that but I can't pry myself away. But staying away from reading more of this would probably be immensely beneficial for me. Adding in a good old-fashioned Victorian massage courtesy of Mr. S ought to cure some of this hysteria.

You're welcome for that image.

FYI, Jane Austen was the Regency Period or the Georgian Era. JS.

None of those women wanted to lay in bed and be waited on. They were forced to by sexist male doctors who wanted to control their every move. They weren’t even allowed to write.

Many believe (whether it's true or not) that Victorian-era doctors invented vibrators to give women orgasms, which is more than the husband here has been able to do, according to her own prolific writings on her marriage.

Also, speaking of writing, I don't understand why we're discussing literature when there are more entertaining things here to talk about. Like, for example, what this girl said to her mother the morning after she discovered her husband masturbates against her wishes.

I have to say that I didn't give this one much hope in terms of m.ilk, but she keeps a -flowing. She's gotten 11 pages in 2 days. That's an impressive ROI. Maybe she does deserve her own dedicated thread. I don't know if she's interesting enough cow-wise though. If she keeps down this ridiculous Lupus vein and keeps writing in pseudo-Victorian English and keeps engaging then we may have a winner.
 
in case any britfags are confused as to why she plays fast and loose with the definition of “Victorian,” the American and Global conceptions of what constitutes the Victorian Era are completely different. In the rest of the world it properly coincides with Victoria’s reign. But here in freedomland it can be anything from “Reconstruction to WWI” to the entire “Long Nineteenth Century”. Because take your monarchy and shove it. At the University I’m affiliated with our Victorian culture class runs from 1820 (the Missouri Compromise/start of the collapse of the Era of Good Feelings) through 1914.

Christine if you are interested in the sexy romantic Regency Era, read the Diaries of Anne Lister. Very sexy, lots of talk about her teeth falling out, her skin erupting in boils from bizarre medical treatments, and her vagina rotting from a venereal disease her lesbian lover gave her. Oh and she dropped dead in her young 40s from something a round of antibiotics would cure today.

Yep. some doctors did believe that an orgasm helped the uterus calm down or put it back in place and cured hysteria. Since sex was taboo to speak of outside of the context of baby making (in some cases), a medical device that helped them orgasm for their health and sanity was a convenient answer. It was actually one of the first electrical devices to hit mass market.

I definitely think the most offensive thing are the anachronisms regarding the Victorian Age.

Yep, isn't that something her British husband should have been able to clear up for her? Sounds like someone never got his GCSE or A level in History.

In the US we’re more likely to subdivide it by events in actual US history. Antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, Progressive Era. Since our presidents (other than FDR) all reign for 8 years or less there’s no point naming an era after them. Victorian is more of a convenience term than something that should be taken seriously as an identifier.

Oh, absolutely, but I would have thought the English ginger gnome would have pointed out the difference at some point. I think she's romanticizing either Edwardian or Georgian Era and because we over here tend to lump it all together through the lens of our history she doesn't understand the distinctions. That actually makes it worse because it means she has done no study on the subject whatsoever.

Oh he’s dimmer than a Century Bulb. As others have pointed out, if he was half as intelligent as she thinks he wouldn’t need to go after teenagers.

Editing all my posts today because I can’t fucking type for some reason jfc
 
Oh, now that hurt. Somewhere in my brain I am aware that it was the Georgian, then the Victorian then the Edwardian era, and that Jane Austen predated the Victorian era, and I was thinking of Emily Bronte and had a 10 guy moment, as they'd say in modern parlance.

I have to admit, my IQ has dropped by about 50 points since I started the MMJ; I have the memory of a demented goldfish, but I think it might be a worthwhile trade since I haven't had serious suicidal thoughts yet this year. But then, what is an artist without her skill and talent? Is one's purpose really a worthy price for happiness? Can I even call myself Christine Milneaux without my historical, herbal, and literary knowledge? Who am I?

Excuse me, lads, I'll be in the sickbed having an existential crisis.

On the contrary, this could get a lot more interesting if she decided to emulate our dear Samantha Violet Bushart.

Dropping some pictures I found while going through her Reddit tripe. For some reason she seemed pretty proud of that ridiculous bed.
