Everyday sexism all mixed up with some lovely virtue-signalling pronoun announcing, wonderful.

@ShiftingSands21

In Scotland with catholic and protestant friends and family and can’t say the bonfire night controversy has ever come up irl.

Thank you for that info, good to hear!

Sorry just catching up!

Kotatsu - the impression you got growing up is fascinating! Where do you think the idea came from that it was getting celebrating guy having a go at exploding parliament? By burning him!

That's kind of awesome

Maybe your parents didn't want to upset you with the the whole yay let's burn him thing?

I mean loads of people including me pick up/get told all sorts of random things when kids. And never think to question/ rare to come up in conversation...

I remember aged 17 walking at night with friend. She said Street lights are amazing, bit scary though. I asked why she said because they work by tiny nuclear explosions making the light.
??!!??? I said.
Turned out her older sister had told her that when she about 7 and no reason to think about it since so just. That was that

If you're interested, I'll put a brief bit of history links about the situation re religion at time.
I'm sure people were bloody hell at blowing up parliament (not where the king would have been I assume, but the politicians.. unless anyone know?).

The background though is of religious wars RC Vs Protestant across Europe, and her battles, bloodshed, Royalty vying for monarchy to be which religion.

The religious situation was 2 sides fighting for power and control, and not checked yet how much of society involved IE royals, the church, politicians etc/ plus some public who interested/ or loads of people full stop.

Sorry for kotatsu if interested as seem to have enjoyed reading history guy Fawkes, and anyone else of course.

1534 Henry 8th wants divorce so ditches RC as England religion makes CofE. Long fighty hooha for years with conspiracy, imprisonment, murder esp around who gets throne. Also he head having got rid of Pope as major deal. Confiscates wealth from RC churches etc.

1534 - 1791 Once protestant monarchy etc, Catholics here oppressed for couple centuries, not allowed to worship etc.

16, 17 and 18 centuries Across Europe religious wars.
Click on GB and Ireland section for examples of battles, rioting, looting etc.

King James I England, also James vi in Scotland. Bloke guy and gang wanted gone, get RC monarch.
James is fella who did the King James Bible, massive deal here, version still use / base versions on in CofE.
V complicated religious things going on.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_VI_and_I_and_religious_issues

In short- totally to do with religion.
The RC in England I assume might well have been v sorry GF failed.

Not about the actual king really, but what religion was.

Here RC Vs Protestant from 1100 ish till now, about the place and better/ worse etc.
And still going in some places UK. 1000 years of conflict over religion... I only just realised that. From reading this

I have no problems with guys. For me, it includes both sexes.

I think this could have been written by a younger person. I'm at University now and females as a group are being referred to as guys in conversation.
e.g "How did you guys do in the test today?" said by women to women.
