I didn't say you said that. I'm just saying that's all sort of part of the same modern narrative frame and I question that knights in the "dark ages" were all a bunch of rapists. Or that women were generally oppressed in Christendom. The whole "dark ages" vs "enlightenment" thing is pretty loaded. What were knights and kings actually like? I'm not attacking you personally, man. I'm just not sure I buy modernity's story anymore.

I never said what modernity’s story was. I was only talking about how “chivalry” came with significant down sides that most are unaware of.
My overall point was that we remember the past more favorably than it actually was.
