I was getting tired but it might be getting better now...the old stuff might be leaving...regarding the Renaissance woman and the 19th century man...the lighter aspect of the Renaissance story was that a wealthy older man and a younger girl hit it off better than expected for a politically arranged marriage, and they even had a creative partnership but their story also has unpleasant aspects...other lives were deeply disrupted...and sometimes it was like she was in a prison...the prettiest...and she had to be very grateful and she had no rights and since her duty was to bear children she was also in a sort of sexual bondage (even her own parents wouldn't sympathize with her...this was her job as a woman...) whereas the other story is different...it's more about the disenfranchisement of a man who felt like he had a child with his friend's wife and was not acknowledged as the real father, even though the child also began to think of him as the real father...so it was like his child was sort of stolen away from him...these are part of a story that wants to be told even though it's not easy to do so.
