    She is as innocent as any rich asshole today who inherited their wealth, only to then keep all of it for themselves. So not innocent at all.

    Also, why do we focus on Marie Antoinette here? Let's talk about all those peasants that were fucked in twenty ways every day. By the standards of the time, saying Marie Antoinette had a rough life before she got revolutioned is fucking stupid. Sure, things sucked back then for everyone, but I daresay it sucked measurably less for the nobility.

      Yeah, any peasant woman had to deal with being treated as a piece of property and didn't live in a palace the size of a village.

      When bread prices skyrocketed and the crown did nothing, the women of Paris marched into Versailles and forced the royal family out of their little opulent hideaway, they made their demands impossible to ignore. It's pretty clear which is the feminist side to take here.
