    Over the weekend, I went on a social news network thread to ask women a question. I asked women on why do they think men put down women for being single. I then proceeded and say that men like to tell women that "They will be single forever", "They will d i e alone", "This is why you have no man" and "This is why you have no husband". I then did some research and studies on marriage and here’s what I got. Both men and women benefit from marriage, but men benefit from it more than women. The reason why men benefit from marriage more is because married men live longer, they make more money, they have better health and more. Also, research and studies say that married men with children are happier than single men and married men live longer than single men. On the flip side, research and studies says that single unmarried women without children live longer than married women who have children. So, in conclusion, married men are the happiest and single women without children are the happiest. There was an article by Psychology Today by Greg Matos, and he wrote an article titled “What’s Behind the Rise of Single Lonely, Men”. He said in the article that in reality, you don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy, but men are typically happier and healthier when they are partnered. On the Reddit thread, some of the replies said that the reason why men shame single unmarried women without children is really projection. Men are the ones who really don’t want to be single, and they don’t want to d i e alone so they project those feelings towards women.

    Lady Danbury was definitely a mentor to Queen Charlotte in my opinion. Initially I think intending to use the relationship as advantage for herself but seeing that Queen Charlotte was naive, clueless and inexperienced, she started look out for her. It seemed one sided at first. Charlotte was self absorbed but as she grew into her role as Queen she realized Lady Danbury was a real friend to her and she then helped her out. I hate to admit, I wanted Lady Danbury to poison her gross husband. Lol

    One of the things I gathered from lady Danbury's marriage is that blk women have always have to endure that struggle love, like she was not struggling financially (well atleast initially) but lord knows, my sista was struggling due to what she had to endure by being married to that man.
    Another is, the fact that homeboy died and left her with essentially no finances so that she'd be able to take care of their children and herself. He squandered all their money trying to live a life he really couldn't afford, just to attempt to win the approval of people who weren't even concerned with giving him the smallest inkling of respect. The struggle was profound honey, she endured all that she endured with him just to eventually inherit crumbs. Nevertheless, I guess he's a "Good man savanna, a Good man", Chile👀

    I believe the second Bridgerton spin-off will be Lady Danbury's story--they've laid so much foundation for her story arc already. One of the recurring themes of the season was "true friendship". I think they made it clear that Lady Danbury never betrayed Queen Charlotte's confidence, instead feeding the Dowager Princess red-herring stories and reports. She was however just 'babysitting' seventeen year-old Queen Charlotte to make sure she didn't mess things up for the colored Ton.
    However, Lady Danbury decided to really befriend Charlotte because she realized they were both trapped and being exploited. When depressed Charlotte escaped the palace during her pregnancy confinement and fled to Agatha's estate, Lady Danbury admitted to Queen Charlotte that they needed to start over if they were going to be genuine friends. I think their friendship was real from that point on.

    Those lady Danbury scenes were enough to change the trajectory of some people’s lives out there. Some ladies got a snippet of what it maybe like to choose a relationship solely for financial and status benefits, although they may not all come packaged like that. On the other hand I’m happy with the reactions of the ladies on the internet because it hopefully shows some of these men who say they age like fine wine, what majority of young women really think and feel about them.

It was normal for women to be sold into marriage to much older, abusive men. They didn't have a choice. It's still going on in many places. This is the dark side of marrying for money and status, having to sleep with a man you don't love and aren't attracted to. I'm glad the character chose herself in the end and found happiness without a man.

    I loved watching Lady Danbury make a way for herself but I wish Shonda included moments where Lady Danbury confronted motherhood. She has 4 children she seldom engages with. She told Queen Charlotte and Violet that all of her kids (now adults) live away from her. I wanted more answers about the relationship she has with her children because season 1 of Bridgerton shows that Lady Danbury practically raised Simon Basset and she is a somewhat maternal figure for members of the ton (including the Bridgerton children). I would have been more interested in how she became a representative for the side of the ton that is racially diverse and becoming a matchmaker with Queen Charlotte rather than her affair with Lord Ledger. The affair came across cheap to me. The proposal scene played with my emotions because I did want Lady Danbury to accept. She does believe in love (as she told Violet and is why she does matchmaking) it’s just that she doesn’t believe it possible for herself. She is powerful, brilliant, and self sufficient but she is lonely. I think overall her story was bittersweet. If she gets a spin off I hope it answers some questions and gives Lady Danbury more joy.

    • @Lokian_Mermaid
      @Lokian_Mermaid Před rokem +4

      Yes, I was wondering the same regarding her children.
      It seems she cares more about being godmother to Daphne's children than mother and grandmother to her own.
      Like, I know some ppl's negative feelings for their child's other parent impacts how they feel about their own kids. It's heartbreaking when it happens but it does happen.

      @@Lokian_Mermaid I had the same thoughts! She bends over backwards for Violet’s children and grandchildren (maybe due to her soft spot for Violet and Lord Ledger), she was essential to Simon’s upbringing after his mother passed, and she housed Kate’s family in her home (season 2), but she has little interest in her own kids. Before Queen Charlotte, I just assumed she never had kids lol I would have liked to see Lady Danbury heal enough to connect with her kids (I had some hope after her scene with Dominic) and possibly see her match her own kids to a better partner than she had.

      Yes, I also thought she didn't have kids. In fact, when she mentioned her fear of her husband "putting another of his giant babies inside her", I wondered if she'd had just one child and that he or she didn't survive and then she simply didn't conceive any others after that. Having difficult births and/or miscarriages can totally kill a woman's fertility and pregnancy and delivery were definitely more fatal back then.
      I would love to see more of her children's childhoods explored and to see how they feel.
      Lady Danbury fought for her son's inherited status, and thus her own. But doing things out of obligation for your children and doing things out of actual love for them are two different things.

    Someone in the comments below talked about how they didn’t want to watch the show due to the forced interracial couplings. It reminded me of a CZcamsr last week talking about how two of his black lawyer lady friends who both turned down one of his colleagues because he wasn’t black. I was absolutely dumbfounded. I think trying to hold onto the fairytale of black love is doing so much harm to black women as a whole. We see black women being loved on TV by men of all races. We need to see possibility so we can let go of this devotion to black men that has not served us yet.
    First and foremost, we outnumber black men by about 2 million. Even if they decided to choose black women, settle down, take care of home, there are simply not enough of them for all of us. The way it’s playing out today, black men are less likely to marry the more money they make. They are the only demographic of men who do this and that says a whole hell of a lot. No wonder why black women are the most likely to marry down.
    When bm do marry, regardless of who they marry, they are the highest demographic in both race and gender to divorce.
    The saddest statistic is that black women are 4x more likely than ww and Hispanic women to suffer from intimate partner violence. These are the men that we are holding out for? These are the men that we are hoping will somehow randomly find value in marriage after they spend their 30s thotting and slanging community d all about? Say it ain’t so.
    On a better note, when black women and white men marry, we are 44% less likely to divorce than ww/wm. We can be loved. We can be supported. Our children can have fathers in the home who are committed to raising them. We just have to open our hearts and minds to the possibility that this man might not be black. Before you comment telling me not to put wm on a pedestal, I’ll stop when we stop putting black men on a pedestal they themselves don’t even fight to be on.

First- Disney Princess movies are FOR GIRLS, not boys. Second- are they teaching their sons not to disrespect and degrade Black girls and women?

    • @fizzychizzy
      @fizzychizzy Před rokem +16

      They are real friends in the series. It’s a big deal for the Queen to show up to your ball. We have seen her show up in Season 2 to Lady Dansbury’s ball at the conservatory (it’s still the first ball of the season because Lady D is still a boss). She is often seen still gossiping and conversing with the Queen one on one during the Bridgerton show as well. Like there are snippets where they are eating and having tea with each other while the Queen is worrying about Lady Whistledown. In fact, I believe there are a lot of scenes with the Queen and Lady Dansbury just hanging out with each other. Lady Danbury is the reason the Queen chose Edwina as the Diamond. She is the reason the Sharmas were welcomed by the Queen because she vouched for them.
      Still, we have to remember that the Queen is the Queen and deserves the manners befitting of her station. She is going to be hard on Lady Dansbury if something she does is gonna lead to the embarrassment of the crown. That is why she was short with her during the wedding episode in Season 2 because Lady Whistledown was basically questioning the monarchy and their judgement. We now have even more backstory for why the Queen would be upset about that since we know that Queen is focused on preserving the line for George. But, the Queen and Lady Dansbury clearly have a genuine friendship.
