Bluestocking has found new Steampunk games coming soon. Thax sees Gilded Age unions reflected in current legislation. Jack is fooled by the latest AI generated art that he SWEARS is human created and we all sit horrified at the nightmares it promises.

This week we dive into the weird sexual views of the era where steampunk pulls so much inspiration. The strategy and rules arranging marriage, the denial of women's sexual needs, and men's as well, the expectations of the wifely role, and lack of women's rights in Victorian England and America.

We discuss hats and costumes that are problematic because of historical harm done in the Victorian period. Hopefully we can find how to navigate the ugly truths of the actual Victorian era and avoid cultural offence. A bit extra awkward chuckling, but hopefully useful discussion.
