“Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel … it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.”
Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre was published #OnThisDay in 1847.

I’ll reply here without tagging you, I was not aware of you having blocked me, or that Lemmy does not respect blocks.
First, I don’t know too much about how Lemmy works, clearly, I primarily use Mastodon myself, and I did not go out of my way to have my post show up at that link. It looks like this was reposted by a bot because of the “history” hashtag that I used?
I would suggest blocking accounts that do that, if that’s an option for you, it’s not really a fault of the people whose post are being reposted to where you can see them.
Also, I am still puzzled by the original response suggesting that a quote from a book is a “click bait headline”. Definitely not intended that way.
I’m just on Lemmy.world, browsing “active”, and your post shows up like this:
So it looks like it’s not a repost by a bot. But never mind me, I’ve no idea of how any of this works, just posting what it looked like at my end.
