A year late for this, but just want to say that I bought this series as a gift for a niece who loves Anne of Green Gables (the books and WonderWorks series), and as so far, it's not really Anne of Green Gables. But, that's something I'll reserve an opinion on for when we finish it (though I kinda regret promising to watch this with her). Your stance on The American Public College System is On Point. It's useless for 80% of the students there. The STEMs and Professional degree programs (medicine, law, architecture, etc.) are the Only reason a student should be in college. Everyone else really should be in a 2-year, vocational, or other practical experience program because it's not necessary for anything else aside from the above-mentioned degrees. Students are the ones to suffer the consequences of the changes that have occurred in university programs. No ROI at all, yet they'll fight you tooth and nail if you tell them the Truth about it
Back then a college education for a girl meant the difference between having the potential to earn your own living and having to marry to have a husband that supported you. For those girls it really was their one and only chance of having any control over their own lives.
i literally rolled my eyes when he said that. theres still parts of the world where the way of thinking thats shown in anne with an e, is still rampant and negatively affects women. many cultures still has the belief that marrying is more important than receiving education.
@@crestmoon8423well it’s more pick and choose. I wouldn’t say marrying is more important than that but, building a family most definitely is. As for gender roles I believe they will always exist. It’s just what most people default to anyways even without social pressures. Women still want to find love, work more sociably, and want to take care of the family. Men still like physical work, want a good women to take care of, etc.
@@paulbrown9328 everything u just said is patriarchal and societally instilled, it is not innate or biological. this isn’t a debate and nobody cares what u think is or isn’t more important in women’s lives btw.
man you have no idea. over the top? 1 this is a combination of scenes from a series. 2 I have heard at least HALF of these directly told to my face. But yeah. even if women tell you you guys never believe us.
I’m not finished with the video but anne with an e is based in the 1800’s and the parents weren’t saying “marry well” as a good thing they wanted their daughter to be a wife and that’s it like basically take care of the husband and not achieve their dreams or whatever basically to be a good housewife and that’s it.
Oh, on Diana's case I'm pretty sure "marry well" means marrying someone respectable who has lots of money, since they're rich. It could also be to be a good wife, but I think it mostly is money based.
2:51 u kinda missed the point with that so i'll explain, back then, and sometimes in some cases in todays society women are meant to "marry well" as their only option in life. however men get to marry out of love and choice, while also being able to choose when to marry, women however are only meant to just "marry well" as soon as your a certain age/a man asks you. its sorta hard to explain to a man LOL, but i hope this made sense! :) & also about the college thingy, its not necessarily about going to college specifically its about the right to be able to go to college. as back then, women were not allowed to have a fair education like men had.
Corsets weren't actually uncomfortable, nor were they restrictive for most of history. There was a brief trend of tight lacing but it wasn't common even then. They were basically full body bras, they supported the body, helped you keep good posture, and worked as a way to support clothing above the corset. Its a myth that they were bad for women or uncomfortable, they just went out of fashion as less structured clothing gave way to minimalist styles. A lot of people with back problems wear corsets today, or by choice as a fashion item. The reason a lot of actors in movies complain about corsets is because they aren't fitted to them properly and they are doing them up way too tight, more tight than people would have originally worn them. Karolina Żebrowska has a great video called "How Victorian Men Taught Us to Hate Corsets: The Biggest Lie in Fashion History", worth checking out :) sorry for the rant, its just a really common misconception I want to clear up where I can
lol i just commented the same thing, nearly word for word. i guess great minds think alike also same would of never thought to question it without seeing Karolina's video
i recently learnt that a corset is not actually as you put it a 'torture device' well corsets of the past at least, the ones of our time that are $15 or less are definitely torturous, or so i heard although i believe this to be because of a lack of material and knowledge. The ones in the time setting of the show however would of been tailor made to fit the woman with the help of adjustable metal, this of course means that the prices would be higher. The ones that i have found that are similar in modern day appear to be $90 or more. also side note: corset use to be a substitute for a bra which was not yet invented. if you want to learn more i learnt all of my knowledge of this subject from fashion historical youtubers Abby cox & Karolina Zebrowska Karolins Zebrowska has a video titled 'how Victorian men taught us to hate corsets: The biggest lie in Fashion History' which explains it pretty well. edit: oh shit sorry just realised another person has already commented about this. my bad should of scrolled some more.

i promise it’s not that over the top women hear this stuff irl all the time and ofc this show is even more representative of its era

I knew he wud find it ridiculous the moment I saw him laugh when the girls were assaulted at the beginning of the vid

ur reaction to this was little… upsetting… saying be careful what u wish for when talking about equal education opportunities was a little :/

Anne with an e is my favourite Netflix show I'm sad they cancelled it

So glad someone said this
@@ToddReacts No problem man! honestly I was shocked when I first found this out to because it was something I'd never even questioned
lol i just commented the same thing, nearly word for word. i guess great minds think alike
also same would of never thought to question it without seeing Karolina's video
I guess the "marry well" part, is up to how each person see the word "well".
By marrying well they mean someone whos rich and has a sutible status
Interesting you found it ridiculous.
he pissed me off ngl
I kinda rarely read comments before watching a video.... I'm glad I did this time, I've read a few like yours, so I'm not even gonna waste my time
Dumb Flash gets 8 stupid seasons.
Anne With An E doesn't even get half of that.
SMH.
All these clips are spaced out from 3 seasons so the show is definitely not like this every second or I could not stand to watch it
Also the show didn’t get renewed and I will be forever heartbroken
i recently learnt that a corset is not actually as you put it a 'torture device' well corsets of the past at least, the ones of our time that are $15 or less are definitely torturous, or so i heard although i believe this to be because of a lack of material and knowledge.

also side note: corset use to be a substitute for a bra which was not yet invented.
if you want to learn more i learnt all of my knowledge of this subject from fashion historical youtubers Abby cox & Karolina Zebrowska
Karolins Zebrowska has a video titled 'how Victorian men taught us to hate corsets: The biggest lie in Fashion History' which explains it pretty well.
edit: oh shit sorry just realised another person has already commented about this. my bad should of scrolled some more.
You should react to Anne and Gilbert
