New play about the wives of Henry VIII talks about how women were “erased from history.” Henry probably erased thousands of times more men than women, but who cares? Let’s just talk about these six women, because feminism.

You have to be a certain type of mentally ill to think discussions of the fucking Tudor Dynasty erase women.

Let's also look at films and tv:

21 portrayals of Henry VIII... however;

Three are about Anne Boleyn. Two are about the Tudors in general. Two are about his wives. One is about Elizabeth.

So there's 13 portrayls of Henry VIII focused on him and his life.

Now;

Like, what is wrong with these people? Are they being serious? There isn't even a page for Henry on this topic, because there doesn't need to be. This kind of statement can only come from the deranged and unhinged mind of a feminist, it is totally divorced from reality.

For the record, Henry VII gets it even worse. How many depictions of him have you seen, despite him starting out as a minor welsh lord with no hopes of getting on to the throne and successfully Baelishing his way on to it, then ending a decades long civil war through diplomacy?

How many of you even know about Arthur, Henrys older brother raised to be king and a messianic celtic figure told he was going to fulfill prophecy until he died before his father did? Or the strained relationship between the Henries over Arthur?

And yet, "Mary and Elizabeth" is well known. Just saying.

the problem with you guys discussing this is that you are trying to make sense out of nonsense. Can't.

These people are mentally impaired, and filled with unfounded hate. Think of their past performance.

"Toxic Masculinity", they did not even define it correctly, and don't realize they, and not men, are the cause.

"Wage gap", Really? Still discussing this idiocy? Freaking Warren ran on that in Massachusetts.

DV? They are still spewing the lie.

MRAs are misogynist?

virtually every single claim they have made has been debunked, from the dead-beat dad canard, to the violence against women prevarication...and they will never stop.

You cannot talk to crazy people, just as you cannot make water flow up hill. All we can do is to continue to expose them, and let them hang themselves, and wipe that vile ideology from the planet.

...but don't ever try to understand or reason with them. You cannot fix stupid.

What I love about Henry the VIII is that all the films and most of the books about him focus on his six wives.

The guy literally brought in the concept of the divine right of kings to British royalty, along with the bills of attaindor that let him be judge, jury and executioner to thousands of people without trials. The guy was a total medieval era Stalin and murdered just about anyone that said anything negative about him at all.

But all we remember about him are his six goddamned wives.
