Imagine a world where women were commodities, where teenage girls had their virginity auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Imagine a place where a pretty beggar could start her life on the street and end it on a country estate, married to a wealthy, titled man.
Imagine sex without contraception, where syphilis was rife and incurable, where you could scale the heights as a celebrated courtesan or die broken, diseased and starving.

Note the UK: You folks need to have yourselves a T(V) party.
This was one of the reasons We won the revolution. GB was morally bankrupt, disease was rife, and their leadership was more interested in nailing hussies than putting down a rebellion. In the meantime, the colonists were mocked for being bible thumpers. It was the colonists’ faith that got us through the darkest days of the revolution.
The war of 1812 was much more dangerous to America because the Wesleyan revival had taken root in GB. Fortunately for us, GB was more interested in fighting Napoleon.
Oh, wait, those are 21st century examples.
Sounds like it is intended to be a commentary on Prince Andrew and his buddies.
Imagine what these hoors smelled like.
Victorian England was not nearly as “prudish” are some would have us believe — but Victorian England was a rather sensible reaction to the Regency period and the Georgian period. England had debauched herself and needed to recover her moral footing. And that period of increased morality paid off in industrialization and empire building.
We could learn a few things.
Fanny Murray, a woman so desirable that an admirer once asked a cook to stew her shoe for his supper. “””
Oh c’mon, when you’re playing to deviants it ain’t that hard to be “desirable”.
We tried watching an earlier season of this show and it just didn’t hold our interest.
Today’s sex slaves don’t count in liberal outrage.
LOL! You are so right.

You mean like TODAY.
Just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy

Then came Victoria!
Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad, called obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
The 3-season series already aired on Hulu. I watched it, and enjoyed it.
I’m sort of over women as victims sorry
The series is based on the book “Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies: Sex in the City in Georgian Britain (Revealing History) by British historian Hallie Rubenhold. She’s written other books about the women of that time. Her latest book was “The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper.” It provides detailed biographical background on the victims Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and May Jane Kelly, along with the history of what was going on in London at the times of their murders, ie., politically, economically, etc. I bought a copy for my Kindle, and found it very interesting.
