I knew about the difference between coffee and yes cups but got curious when she started chattering about different types of tea using different styles of cups. So I found this.

Then I decided that it didn't matter that much since I drink ice tea by the liter to stay hydrated and nobody's going to be building me a temperature and humidity controlled tea warehouse.

Lmao right?? ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Yea, I drink that instant tea that comes in packets then just put it in my fridge. xD I literally just now, today. When out and bought some tea bags to test out how warm tea taste like. I'm a little nervous cause I have picky taste-buds xD

Oh wow I hope you enjoy it. I was born a tea drinker and atm I'm obsessed with having a cup of chamomile every morning. It's the best thing!

Keep in mind that as this webtoon shows there are many kinds of tea and tea bags aren't presweetened like those instant tea packages. Black tea should be steeped in boiling water which is 212* F but not for longer than 5 minutes or it will become very bitter. Green teas need to be steeped in a lower temperature hot water, about 170* F. If you don't have a candy or meat thermometer to test the temp just let it sit for a few minutes to cool a bit. And I think I will stop there as this is your first foray into actual tea and you probably don't need or want the many, many details of the wondrous world of tea right now.

What are you talking about? It's not like everyone is complaining and saying that it's misogony. There are literally 2/3 people that mentioned it.

Is there predjustice against her spcifically? No? Do they have roles they have to fit into that disadvantage women? Yes. Is it sexist? Yes. Is it based on the culture? Yes. Most cultures, societies of the past were based on the idea of male domination. This story is historical but doesn't focus much on the themes.

Is the author of the story sexist? There is no sign of that? Does the story support sexism? No, it only includes the theme which is based on the social setting of the time. The FL is a strong independent woman.

The prince wasn't a twat for refering to them with numbers as he has only met them once/twice. Most of them 30/31 of them will disapar from his life after meeting each other 3 times.

She is neither for not against this. She is petty indiffrent to the whole idea of being a consort. She does like the life style and accomendations but is indiffrent to the end goal she is meant to be aimin for.

There are also other themes such as classism. E.g. how she thinks she ain't go no chance cuz she a country girl.

Some if not all, of what you said I agree with wholeheartedly xD. Yes 2/3 people mentioned and pointed it out. A certain way of thinking I have is, "If I think of something, most likely another person has thought of it as well." or "If multiple people think the same, most likely a lot of people think the same."

I'm just saying it for those who have finished reading the updated chapter, that maybe thinking as the others are. I'm basically kinda thinking ahead xD.

The head maid was clearly prejudice against her? She already has a dislike and hostile opinion of the main lead just from how she looked and where she is from.

However I'm am curious though. Where do you see the Sexism, cause I don't see it? Also I don't think I ever question if the author was sexist? O_o

As for the sexism, it's culture-based. Nothing major. You will notice it if you focus on the stereotypes and which roles everyone fits. All the soldiers are men, all the maids are women. Basically sex typing. All the council/powerful people are men. The women's lives revolve around men (e.g.ladies fighting over the prince - they had something to gain from marrying the guy but still at the same time we could argue that women lacked power/authority and had to rely on their husbands/fathers.) However, the whole theme of sexism is very very thin and the author made/choose to make the characters ask in a much more modern way. The story is far from sexist but since it is based on that time period, it does include things that show sexism into subtle ways. And there is nothing wrong with that especially since the author basically treats characters as equals for the most part. The only sexism we see is culture/time-period based which is unavoidable when you set a story in that time period. Honestly, IDK why those 2/3 people even complained. I do think that those things are worthy of acknowledging. Sure it may not be happening now as much


Sexism still exist but it's more of a thing within the household than a legal thing. Like we can get jobs, get paid the same pay and so on but even in relationships where both partners work full time, women do most of the housework. Thankfully men are taking on more responsibility when it comes to housework and things are becoming more equal. TBH, I thought that sexism was over too but then I started to study sociology (seemed easy so I choose it) and I have learned a lot. Men also have more power over very important financial decisions (where you live) within a relationship while women are the ones who make most of the minor ones (e.g. which brand of pasta you're having for dinner.) So yeah, legal changes have made men and women equal in the eyes of the law but there are still social changed that need to get placed. And let's be honest, there are areas where men face discrimination. Courts give custody to mothers almost always which is unfair as some fathers might be better suited and far more interested in caring for their children. Yet because there is a social belief that women are better suited for the job, they get custody even if they don't deserve it.


And the thing with the head maid had a prejudice against her but that seemed mostly based on her speaking so freely, saying that she doesn't require a "lady's maid" which can be considered disrespectful and overall would just seem weird to her. It's basically a power dynamic prejudice influenced by the FL not acting/behaving how people would expect her to behave and the fact that the head maid is a petty woman who has one of the only jobs a woman could get at the time. So as a woman, her position was very high and yet she had to serve some country girl. I don't really think the head maid is that sexist, she does seem to have some ideas but I think she is being prejudiced against her based more on class than anything else. And yeah she should be fired.

Overall/summery"
story = good
subtle contextual sexism = exists
A story set in a time period that ignores the norms, values and the culture of that society = not possible as to how would it be set in that time period?
FL = strong independent woman
ML = not sexist
Head maid = rude, petty woman but mostly based on class.
Is there a reason to complain = hell no
author = not sexist
Does sexism exist in our culture = yes for both women and men but in different ways

AGAIN!! Most if not all of what you've said I agree with!

The culture thing though, now that the times changed we see that it's sexist. At that time period it was the norm. I'm looking at the story from the characters point of view in a way. It's the norm, there is no sexism. Also, for a woman, the highest job would be the queen xD.

Again, I don't see where I called the Head maid sexist. If I remember currently though. When the 31th got there, there were already no "lady's maids" because the FL was the 31. Side note, she is such a bully too. Basically denying the FL the stuff a Consort is suppose to have. She has neglected her job. I don't know if you can tell but, I REALLY HATE THIS HEAD MAID!! xD I can see what you mean about the head maid prejudice being more class-standing.

Again I didn't want to get into the whole sexist in IRL. From what I've seen, a lot of men are the one's being oppressed now. It's different everywhere around the world, true. I personal know some guys who are terrified just to hold a door for a woman, give them a compliment, or worse help them if their in need. Of fear that they'd be falsely accused for whoever knows what. That really all I'd like to say about that, because even if I'm a woman. I'm terrified giving out my opinion. Whenever I say something I either get bullied or yelled at that I'm wrong and should just shut up.

Overall/summery" I agree wholeheartedly.

You're not wrong, but if we think about the maid from way back when she was still with the emperor she was clearly raised in a gilded cage learning only what they let her learn.

That and from what I can gather even the emperor/ uncle, didn't tell her anything and baby'd her a lot... I wonder though... Will we ever find out what happened? With the whole witch non-sense. If it was me that suddenly was in the future, FIRST thing I'd do is look in the past to see if my past self was mentioned and what happened to "Uncle" xD

Side Note, Those of you have read my comment Read the talking like an old bitch granny xD

Same

All of a sudden parents come in your room from hearing you crying. Asks what's wrong, as soon as your yell "nothing" at them. It's like they know, "Oh are you on your period?" xD

Yeah haha
