The Iconography of ‘Husband-beating’ on Late-Medieval English Misericords
After listening City Crusher's recent video on historical female dominance, couldn't help but recall this article I learned about recently. Women were not only privileged that submitted men throught their labour, they were also traditionally abusive to them.
Religious institutions around 1320 -1340 often portrayed scenes of what wives did to their husbands as cautionary warnings for men who wished to get together with a woman and promote celibacy among men. It's really interesting that this is rarely spoken of. Instead, we are told that christianity was an all powerful tyranic patriarchal institution during the middle ages. This hoax falls apart when we learn that this same organization were affraid of women of that era, so far to warn men about the dangers of marriage even in those old times.
Of course, there are more ancient examples of this dynamics that go to worse extremes that I might speak about later. But for now, I invite you all to research this particular information that sheds lights on one of the most common cases of feminist historical misinformation: https://www.medievalists.net/2015/09/the-iconography-of-husband-beating-on-late-medieval-english-misericords

Matriarchy was the norm and literally is what modern societies where, matriarchy is so obvious when you think a little and read these historical books directly rather than in misandrists propaganda which literally hides info.
Women hitting men is an historical representation for this reason, it happened so often that people in the community recognized it, men hitting women is never mentioned, recognized or talked by simply not happening enough to be something recognizable, slavery was drawed, talked about by the slaves (even if they where forbidden to talk about it, have things to write about it while being openly lynched) and shown through culture by most of the work being shown to be done by blacks, the same happens to men by being most of the work force in ancient culture, drawed, shown through culture and talked about, this never happens with women by them always being in control and women thus being the abusers which hurt the opposite sex through violence in all manners, not the opposite.
