In 11th-century Europe, there were two forms of marriage: church marriage and concubinage: a form of cohabitation not sanctified by the church.

That is, in fact, if a man so desired, he could have two marriages: one formal church marriage and a second through concubinage. This was a relic of barbarian times, to which the church still turned a blind eye.

And women, who sometimes, for various reasons, were unable to enter into a church-sanctified marriage, were forced to agree to concubinage.

In general, it has the vibe of organizing a Spartan society.

For the first five years, the mother is responsible for looking after the children (obviously, the father is heroically hunting the mammoths of the republic's enemies; otherwise, it's hard to understand why he's absent as a concept).

And then, education for boys aged 5-12 and girls aged 5-11 becomes universal and funded by the state; they receive the same clothing, food, education, and care. Robespierre also supplemented the decree with a provision for orphans, for whom the state also promised to care.

According to Lepeletier, children could begin learning crafts at age 12 and further education would ensure individual specialization: agrarian, mechanical, or fine arts.

In general, it's clear what they taught: mastering reading, writing, counting, weights and measures, memorizing history, understanding moral principles, the Constitution, and domestic and rural economics. Everyone was expected to care for the elderly and disabled; boys were expected to work in the workshop or school building, as well as on the land; and girls were expected to spin, sew, and wash, all of which were useful for the educational institution. Basically, typical modern classes, where boys do nothing for five years, while girls cook, sew, and do all sorts of things that could seriously damage masculinity if boys do them.

So, the whole point is to remove children from the corrupting influence of the family—otherwise, you never know, they might grow up un-republican: and teach them the right way.

Lepeletier envisioned a ratio of 50 students per teacher, a teacher's salary of 400 livres, and a teacheress's salary of 300 livres (think up an ironic comment for me, but apparently the whole point is that if you pay the teacher the same, he'll decide being a monarchist is more enjoyable and run away to the Vendée; there's nowhere to run to with a teacher), their living next to other children, and double the food ration compared to a child's.

Aang: looks at Katara.

Katara: nods.

But it’s absolutely astonishing that she published her essay «A Vindication of the Rights of Woman» in 1792. There are TikTok videos like «feel the historical derealization: Count Dracula could wear jeans». Well, feel it: in this essay, written three years after the beginning of the revolution for liberty, equality, and fraternity, Mary Wollstonecraft proves that women are just like people, and while they may seem less intelligent, that’s only due to a lack of education.

Secondly, the balcony scene is beautiful: Sofia Coppola took full advantage of the opportunity to play with the shine of gilding in the torchlight of the Parisians.

But when the war ended, men began to turn back, and the situation reversed. Women entered into intense competition, one with another, for jobs.

And it turned out that single women won in this, because they needed to support themselves somehow, but those who had husbands began to be fired - because why do they need work, their husband will provide for them.
