"From the first blush of attraction to the final vows at the altar, courtship during Britain’s Regency period — which lasted from 1811 to 1820 — was equal parts romance and business," writes Parissa Djangi for National Geographic. She explains the real rules of entering the marriage market in the "Bridgerton" era.

Content warning Rant about sex in Bridgerton

Okay, record scratch.

I love a fuzzy romantic fantasy as much as the next gal.

But #Bridgerton is back on the bullsh*** where someone is not telling a virgin girl what exactly is happening to her, and somehow that is romantic and ok.

It's not ok.
Not even without the context of sex outside of marriage in the historical context (e.g. she literally doesn't know how this would effect her).

BAD

*end rant*

Everyone watching #Bridgerton: *waiting for Colin and Pen to Do the Thing*

Me, watching Bridgerton: *waiting for Colin to close his damn mouth at least once*

Vagina Museum

For the #Bridgerton fans among you, here are five slang terms in use in the early 19th century which they might have used for vaginas:
▼ Fancy article
▼ Old Ding
▼ Merry bit
▼ Pin-cushion
▼ Mrs Fubbs's Parlour

MICHAELA STERLING WHAT WHAT!?

I am *astounded* that they're going there. As much hand waving as they did in S1 about how the queers were all fundamentally tragic and could never be seen in the light of day, I assumed it'd be straight romances all the way down the line, but apparently not!

Since you're all watching #Bridgerton, let's share again our investigation as to whether George III ate pussy. This is also highly applicable to all them men in Bridgerton, when you're assessing the historical accuracy of the show. https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110344727977731902
