Surprising to find this on the BBC, but the BBC series Lady Swindlers is presented by the feminist Lucy Worsley, 51, who also presented Lady Killers. Criminals are admirable when they’re female, it seems.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Being a history “buff” It fascinates me how so much “feminist” history actually disproves the “patriarchy” theory. What becomes very clear is that aristocratic and gentry women wielded considerable power and influence because of their privileges, given to them of course because of royal or noble blood. In a world that thought this was the most important attribute. Many years ago I was alerted to this by the stories of the families of two local “stately homes”. In both, on a number of occasions, a female heiress of the family married a man from a less illustrious family (but with some money) and the man took the heiresses family name as did their children. Further research found this true of a number of other regionally illustrious families. Of course no one at all bothered about the males and females working the land etc. In a weird way the feminist historians are busy proving women were not “serfs” unless of course they were serfs, just like male serfs.
In busily finding lots of powerful women, the good and the bad, the feminists actually undermine their own thesis. Indeed history also shows (as Prof. Fiamengo recently reminded us) that much of what is supposedly evidence of “patriarchy” was actually mid to late “Victorian” legislation agitated for by the newly created bourgeoise females, to protect women from the dark side of the rapidly industrialising Britain and Eastern USA! Females being excluded from all sorts of dangerous industries, responsibilities and enforced responsibilities on men to protect and serve women (breach of promise for example) in a world without welfare and the notion of being married to the state.

The social status and security associated with ‘being a housewife’ was actually the largest and most generous welfare programme ever conceived by men for the benefit of women.
