#MedievalTwitter h/t to @DanielleGAllor for reminding me of the critical medieval studies bibliography on rape culture. Let's look at the titles of these texts to make clear the utter disingenuous/libelous and/or badly researched comments of @Real_HistoryGuy et. al. 1/
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy #MedievalTwitter We can begin w/ Kathryn Gradval's 1991 book Ravishing Maidens: Writing Rape in Medieval French Lit. and Law. Hmmm, so are you saying Kathryn Gradval's title is also an indication that "she wants to ravish maidens". 🤔 amzn.to/2QPZJlr
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy #MedievalTwitter Then we have Suzanne Edwards 2015 book The Afterlives of Rape in Medieval English Literature. Which is on sale at the Palgrave sale for $9.99. amzn.to/2rwQj3K
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy #MedievalTwitter Then most recently there is Carissa Harris's book Obscene Pedagogies: Transgressive Talk and Sexual Education in Late Medieval Britain. Which is on sale for $9.99 on kindle and has the most amazing cover: amzn.to/2QVpIYO
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy #MedievalTwitter Carissa Harris recently published a MFF Journal article entitled: "'A drunken cunt hath no porter': Medieval Histories of Intoxication and Consent." So do you believe that Carissa believes the first half of this title in Middle English? bit.ly/2pSqCtK
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy Maybe #MedievalTwitter people should just read the special MFF issue on sexual harassment that was published here. ir.uiowa.edu/mff/vol53/iss1/
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy #MedievalTwitter So are these people telling @menysnoweballes that the title of her public blog piece "Chaucer's Funny Rape: Addressing a Taboo in Medieval Studies" means she ascribes to the belief that Chaucer's rape is funny? 🤔 bit.ly/37PYUz8
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy @menysnoweballes #MedievalTwitter So are these ppl saying that Alison Gulley's title, "'How Do We Know He Really Raped Her?': Using the BBC Canterbury Tales to Confront Student Skepticism Towards the Wife of Bath" means she believes the 1st part of this title? 🤔bit.ly/2qNv3GN
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy @menysnoweballes #MedievalTwitter So are these ppl saying that Karras's article "'Because the Other is a Poor Woman She Shall Be Called His Wench': Gender, Sexuality, & Social Status in Late Medieval England" means Karras's subscribes to calling poor women wenches? 🤔bit.ly/2Dl1Q8O
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy @menysnoweballes #MedievalTwitter #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race I will finish here by pointing to early modern colleagues. Are you saying that Tina Mohler's article "'What is Thy Body but a Swalling Grave..?':Desire Underground in Titus Andronicus" means she believes this. 🤔 bit.ly/33mqe4C
@DanielleGAllor @Real_HistoryGuy @menysnoweballes #MedievalTwitter #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race I am sure other scholars can add titles to this thread as well. Feel Free.
