Lady Jane Grey stans are the worst

People act like Mary is such a harpy for wanting her LEGITIMATE claim to the throne to be honoured. Jane was a usurper! Who completely rejected all of Mary’s attempts at mercy because she wanted to be a Protestant martyr

Quarantine day whatever: I’m gonna fight everyone on how we would talk about Mary I WAY differently if she was a dude lol

In all seriousness though, this is a good read that looks at a lot of mythology that’s been built up around Jane https://www.1843magazine.com/content/leanda-de-lisle/lady-jane-grey

I am not anti-Jane! I am anti people who love to view women from history uniquely as one-dimensional victims and reject anything that might make their narrative feel less pure. But every person is complex! When we strip complexity from women’s narratives we dehumanize them
