history blogs. I've noticed quite a few of the more hostile history blogs are somewhat older people with history degrees. Sometimes I wonder if the hostility is the perception that anyone who disagrees with them--a degree holder, my god!--must just be an uneducated sap obsessed with pretty dresses.

I mean, I think there is a point to be made about the fact that popular histories focus more on the "pretty" victims of the revolution versus the "unwashed masses" who were the victims of the ancien regime, but calling a young child who was mentally and physically abused for years a "fucking brat" because they happened to be royalty, or trying to downplay the brutal murder of a woman solely for her connection to someone who happened to be royalty, isn't the way to go.
