it sucks so fucking bad when people call reactionaries ignorant. it’s especially laughable to call jkr of all people ignorant. it is a liberal analysis of how reactionary beliefs operate, which is that bigotry is the result of insufficient education, that it is a symptom of an underlying deficit of information, and that bigotry is always at least partially indistinguishable from real, actual ignorance. while it’s true that fascist worldviews are not empirical, that is not because these people have simply missed the opportunity to correct their lack of historical understanding about the world. It is a conscious decision to reject, revise, or deny historical evidence; it is a conscious decision to believe antisemitic and transphobic and antiblack and misogynistic and islamophobic conspiracy theories. These people have not been led astray by their own ignorance, they are agents in their own lives who decide every single day to believe these things, and calling that behaviour “ignorance” is obfuscating that and positioning them as quasi-victims in their own bigotry. They are not otherwise fine people whose education needs correcting, they are political enemies of the vulnerable and want to exterminate them. that is the source of their beliefs, not ignorance

Female Knights in Medieval History

While women have been fighting alongside men for all of history, they usually don't get the same recognition as their counterparts. Here are some cases where women did get accepted into chivalric orders, though they typically got a separate title. Some of the women were combatants, and some were not (but non-combatant men have been accepted in chivalric orders for just as long!)

  1. Order of the Hatchet (12th century Spain) Orde de l'Atxa|Orden del Hacha was an entirely-female order created after women defended the Catalonian town of Tortosa from invaders. With most adult men off to war, the women fought with hatchets and other tools. Women of this order were given social and financial privileges, including tax exemptions.
  2. Order of Saint-John (12th century Malta) A military religious order, the Order of Saint-John had female soeurs hospitalières and male frères prêtres who had essentially the same role in the order.
  3. Teutonic Order (12th century Jerusalem) The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem accepted women primarily as consorores and hospitallers, in charge of supportive and medical services. However, these women did follow men to war to perform battlefield medicine.
  4. Knights Templar (12th-14th century Jerusalem) The members of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon admitted women for a number of roles. We know that when the final got around to writing down their rules, it included continuing the already standard practice of admitting women. Most Knights Templar were noncombatant, especially financiers.
  5. Order of the Garter (14th-15th century England) Dedicated to the patron saint of England, Saint George, the Most Noble Order of the Garter admitted women regularly, often due to blue blood. However, women without high birth were admitted as well.
  6. Order of the Ermine (14th and 15th century France) The L'Ordre de l'Hermine was directly inspired by the Order of the Garter and dedicated to upholding one's personal honor. It openly admitted men and women of any social rank, including the only known instance in Medieval history of a woman serving as Officer of Arms. This woman, Katherine Potier, was titled "Espy Herault".
  7. Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary (13th-16th century Italy) A unique order that took up arms to pacify cities in the fractured Italian states. It was centered in Bologna and would admit women as fighters called militissa (literally 'female knight').
