I hadn't thought about t...This is a great post. I hadn't thought about the connections to the Miller's Tale and these images of violent sexual grabbing, and I'm looking forward to making the connection for students in my Canterbury Tales course.<br /><br />I would also add that the outrage that we see now from Republican leaders is another old trope--in which charging someone else with antifeminism--and, more specifically, rape--can be another form of misogyny. It's not an accident that Trump's "grabbing" or married women was the straw that broke the camel's back for politicians and voters who excused anti-Muslim hatred, anti-woman abuse of Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, and the outrageous racism of disqualifying a judge for being "Mexican" or his claims about the lives of black people. Trump disrespected women's status as the property of other men, and that was the breaking point. He threatened other men's control of women's sexuality. This was exactly the fight about rape and elopement that we see in the 1382 Statute of Rapes.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168677028153168537noreply@blogger.com
