 so bad, and sex was lure, the hook, so they damned sex as a means to keep men from getting ensnared in the traps and wickedness that women lay for men. And the thought has a little bit of merit, I must say.

So, think about this. The men in power at the time, saw some of the stuff we see, and they gave a huge “thumbs down” on women. Huge.

Now, heading into the second 500 years of Christianity, throw a “rubbing elbows” with Moslems in Spain, and this idea of “love” starts to percolate about, sort of this “counter-culture” idea of the time. It did not exist at all before in European culture, this idea of “soul mates” and “intertwined” spirits and “the ennobling qualities of love”, love as the be all and end all, the very reason to live.

And it was made up.

By women. Duh?

So there were moments, during this period 1170-1250 were in certain places the women got control. It the case of this Marie, she got control of this region “Troyes” in southern France when her son was named to be noble over the region and he was 11 years old. So she accompanied him down there and was the defacto “regent” during his “minority”. Her husband became King while she was down there. So this was a woman of major influence. And her sister was married to someone that also became King of someplace else. Their mother had been both Queen of France and then Queen of England after she divorced the King of France. This was a powerful woman who got what she wanted. And two of the chief architects of “love” were her two daughters, who married extremely high status men.

The same thing happened at the same time in about 3 other major places in the area, and these women, began to “flirt: with idea of “Courtly Love”. Flirt maybe is a little weak of word. But the general idea of most writers about the theme is that they “Proposed it as countervailing religion or thought to Christianity.” Christianity had so vilified women during the past 200 years, and this “love” stuff was really one of the first “feminisms”.

And near I am can tell, it was literally the birth of the Feminine Imperative. At
so bad, and sex was lure, the hook, therefore they curse sex as a means to observe man from getting ensnared in the traps and sin that womanhood lay for man. And the thought has a short bit of merit, I must read. 

 So, remember about this. The men in power at the clock time, saw some of the stuff we see, and they give a huge “ thumbs down ” on women. Huge. 

 Now, heading into the second 500 old age of Christianity, throw a “ rubbing elbows ” with Moslems in Spain, and this idea of “ love ” begin to percolate about, sort of this “ counter - culture ” idea of the time. It did not exist at wholly earlier in European culture, this idea of “ soul mates ” and “ intertwined ” spirits and “ the ennobling qualities of love ”, sleep together as the be all and end all, the identical reason to live. 

 And it was made up. 

 By charwoman. Duh? 

 So there were moments, during this time period 1170 - 1250 were in certain places the women got restraint. It the case of this Marie, she got control of this region “ Troyes ” in southern France when her son was named to be baronial over the region and he was 11 years old. So she accompanied him down there and was the defacto “ regent ” during his “ minority ”. Her husband became King while she was down there. So this was a charwoman of major influence. And her sister was married to someone that also became King of someplace else. Their mother had been both Queen of France and then Queen of England after she disassociate the King of France. This was a powerful woman who got what she want. And two of the chief architects of “ love ” were her two daughters, who married highly high status men. 

 The same thing happen at the same clock time in about 3 early major places in the area, and these charwoman, began to “ flirt: with theme of “ Courtly Love ”. Flirt possibly is a little weak of word. But the cosmopolitan idea of most writers about the theme is that they “ Proposed it as counteract religion or think to Christianity. ” Christianity had so vilify women during the past 200 years, and this “ love ” stuff was really one of the first “ feminisms ”. 

 And near I am can distinguish, it was literally the birth of the Feminine Imperative. At
