Highly recommend every OFMD fan read Pretty Gentleman by Peter McNeil before they open their mouth about the connection (or lack of connection as they inaccurately claim) between fashion and effeminacy in the 18th century

#like either we’re using an 18th century lens to understand Stede in which case he’s femme #or we're using a modern lens to understand Stede in which case he’s femme #also people arguing that its only about class love to forget that namby-pamby was aimed at Ed #is Izzy saying that Ed is upper class?#I mean he is rich but I don't think that's something Izzy has an issue with #and also Calico Jack is the one that calls Stede a fop #so idk why some Izzy fans get so upset about people pointing out that fop is about effeminacy #Izzy could say Stede was of 'the dubious gender' or something and people would be like #'actually considering Izzy's accent this is a comment about class'#our flag means death #historical fiction
