Are there any actual examples of the wife baring another man's child and not being beheaded?

>Were medieval arranged marriages unhappy unions?

Arranged marriages tend to be much more successful than marriages for love.
>Did they share a bed?

Of course.
>How prevalent was cucking?

No more so than it is today (around 10%)
>Are there any actual examples of the wife baring another man's child and not being beheaded?

If it was known to be another man's child he would likely divorce her, but beheading? Yeah, no. /Maybe/ if the cuckee is a king, but adultery is not a capital crime outside the Muslamic world. Also, arranged marriages were always rare in Europe, and pretty much exclusive to the nobility and the wealthiest merchant families.

Lower class marriages were rarely out of love either and were usually for land transfers, getting rid of daughters, husbands collecting dowries.

Besides women being sluts, most affairs in the medieval era almost certainly resulted from being pressured by other men, just like in my NTR comics (it's no coincidence either, the Japanese attitudes towards shame and authority have a lot in common with medieval European attitudes.)
Most men probably got cucked by some local noble, clergyman etc, and occasionally by their own family or stepfamily.

That is any marriage, because that is life. If you're with somebody long enough, even if you aren't married, you're going to experience misery, abuse and tragedy. However, that isn't all there is to life.

Blaming marriage for misery, abuse and tragedy over the course of life is like blaming marriage for the opposite, because the opposite also exists.

Life is going to be life, whether you want to spend it by yourself or with somebody.

Those charts are maliciously, deliberately misleading and don't take averages into account.

Yes, girls with severe daddy issues fill the aching void in their souls with the wrong kind of attention and act like mega-sluts. That accounts for about 3% of women (almost the exact percentage of men who are kissless virgins), and a full 90% of the female population has had 10 or less partners

Yes, women who have experience won't sit there passively and let you mistreat/neglect them, they've been there before and they don't like it, and they will up and leave your undeserving ass more quickly than some stupid young girl who doesn't know any better.

Sorry that you find the mating game so difficult nowadays. Perhaps you'd like it better living in some Muslim shithole?

That's ok, I know it hurts that freedom is so popular.

That's my point. What did you think it was?
>>
Marriage used to be about alliances between families, clans or tribes, where two young members of the societal group would build a household and raise a family together.

In this context, there is no sense in marrying for "love". Love doesn't lasts, and in the end you will end up having to share a household with someone you don't love and don't share anything in common. It's much better to leave the decision of who to marry for your parents or elders who will make the better decision about with whom you will spend your whole life. It's too serious to be left with fickle passions.

That's it in the days when a couple was supposed to raise a family and build a household, and the authority of the father of the family was respected, of course. I see no reason at all to marry in 2016. The family doesn't serve a single purpose, not economically, not culturally, not socially and not politically (unless you're a Rothschild or something). And if you try to raise a family and exhibit your strenght as a patriarch, you are more likely than not to end up without your wife, your kids, your money and in jail.

Much better to just watch anime for love and fuck prostitutes for sex.

Frankly, dating websites statistics is not the best source about this, because what women respond to in such websites is not what they actually seek sexualy.

Of course they won't respond for a Moroccan who asks if she wants "ficky ficky" on Okcupid, but if she mets him in a nightclub, and he charms her with his confidence, his wit, his violent domination of all around him, then she will have sex with him. And that's what is happening all around Europe.

The thread was about medieval arranged marriages, their happiness, and whether there are any historical instances of wives cucking their husband.

Turns out there are no examples and the thread derailed with limp wristed cucks revising history to satisfy their degenerate fetish.

Except that's wrong
Marxist elements and the use of Marxist frameworks has a deal of representation in historical discourse. It is often inferior to revisionist histories, but it has its uses

I forgot that that /his/ definition of history rarely includes works by actual historians and exclusively supports whatever social or political view they're trying to reafirm

>Marxist elements and the use of Marxist frameworks has a deal of representation in historical discourse.

Proving what, exactly? That marxism won the clash of ideologies in ww2. If the nazis had won, THEY would be "represented in historical discourse". And, of course, there IS an historical discourse of the far right, one you are ignorant of and that is not taught at colleges but that has its thinkers, its publications, its journals and academics.

Marxist historians are NOT actual historians. They are ideologues pushing an ideology, they have no more credibility than nazi historians do.

No, I'm saying they have given up any right to be treated as free-thinking individuals by embracing a cult of the mind. I don't waste my time reading nazi historians or libertarian historians or creationist historians, why would I waste my time reading marxist ones? I can tell you without reading them exactly what their conclusions will be, and I can't trust them not to distort, misrepresent or outright fabricate the evidence to fit their narrative.

>Were medieval arranged marriages unhappy unions?
In general? Not specially, because people were conditioned to think of them as "natural" just like it is "natural" for us to marry for love.
>Did they share a bed?
Poor couples would sleep with their children, maybe even their own parents, and sometimes even farm animals for heat. Very cramped.
Nobles would sleep next to servants. Sleeping with their spouses wasn't the norm.
>How prevalent was cucking?
The rules of love and war haven't fundamentally changed.
>Are there any actual examples of the wife baring another man's child and not being beheaded?
Dude. Are you insane? Yeah, chinese concubines and women like so were held to some pretty strict standards but most men didn't kill the mother of their children or a realtive to their allies.

Do you imagine that it is impossible to use facts to push an agenda? Nazi historians also cite facts. The problem is, they cite facts selectively, and sometimes the "facts" they cite are fraudulent. This is one reason why you simply can't trust nazi historians. However, this is not unique to nazis: ALL ideologues behave this way, because fundamentally they bare not interested in knowledge but in propagating their ideology.

And it is frankly comical for you, an advocate for a murderous anti-thought ideology, to accuse me of being partizan.

It wouldn't be uncommon for noblemen to sleep with their female servants, but I was actually refering to how queens would share their beds with noblewomen (being a servant to royalty was prestigious even for high nobles) and noblewomen in general would share their beds with female staff. Nights at castles were very cold and high nobles couldn't be trusted to wipe their own asses so they'd have warm, atentive helpers by their side all night.

no, his argument is that the reason nobody takes Nazi revisionists seriously is because of how shitty and artifact-plagued their methodologies whose conclusions melt away when subjected to even the most cursory scrutiny.

It's a valid one.
>>
>>2110230
>mindless ideologue drone

Okay were on to the insults now

I have never advocated a Marxist position on anything, I think Communism is a failed system and shouldn't be implemented anywhere. But because I don't refuse to read Marxist works and shut myself off from a huge section of historiography I'm an ideologue.
I think Marxist frameworks lead to generally wrong conclusions and should be refuted, but you have to read something to refute it.
Because I suggest people read things and form their own opinions I'm the one who's mindless?

Your worldview is so fragile you can't even stand to possibly encounter anything that challenges it. It's one thing to read things and reject them out right, but you don't even bother to read them.
But I'm the drone lol
>>
>>2110235
I agree. However, I believe that any shitty methodologies or conclusions should actually be examined and refuted

Anon is arguing we should just plug our ears and pretend like they don't exist.
How ever bad their methodologies and data leading to their conclusions they literally can't be as bad as Anon's methodology of refuting them
>>
>>2110259

By advocating ideological historians you are yourself advocating for that ideology.

>Your worldview is so fragile you can't even stand to possibly encounter anything that challenges it.

Spoken like a True Believer. No, you dullard, I have explained at considerable length why I don't waste my time on ideologically motivated "histories". To summarise, it is because they are full of lies and distortions.

>But I'm the drone lol

Glad you accept it, comrade.
>>
>>2110275
>By advocating ideological historians you are yourself advocating for that ideology.
No

>ideologically motivated "histories"
How do you tell what is and isn't ideologically motivated?
How do you tell when something is distorted, or when a historian is a liar without reading a single word?
How do you *literally* judge a book by its cover?
I'm all ears
>>
>>2110293
>No

Yes. Learn what "advocate" means, you slow-witted clown.

>How do you tell what is and isn't ideologically motivated?

I research the historians. If they're overtly biased, I don't waste my time on their work. This isn't foolproof of course but it does save me a lot of wasted effort.

>How do you tell when something is distorted, or when a historian is a liar without reading a single word?

If they're an ideologue it goes without saying that they are worthless. This is true for ALL ideologues, no matter how hard they may try to be non-partisan, it's a product of what ideology is and how it shapes our thoughts.

>How do you *literally* judge a book by its cover?

I look for the part that displays the author's name.
>I'm all ears

If that were true, you wouldn't be such a cretin.
>>
>>2110307
So which ideology am I a True Believer in? Which ideology have I become a drone of?
Because I have done nothing but advocate for a fair and balanced reading of all histories

It's one thing to judge a work by its creator rather than its content, but you don't even bother reading the content.
I can't believe that you accuse be of being close minded when the basis of your argument is that we shouldn't read certain types of things because they might infect our minds. And not only that, you don't think anyone should read them.
I have an idea, how about you round up all the works by people you disagree with and burn them in one big fire. That'd be great! Then no one could read anything poisoned by ideology.

Your ideas go against the entire concept of learning
>>
>>2110336
>Because I have done nothing but advocate for a fair and balanced reading of all histories

But you haven't, tho. You recommenced marxist historians, you haven't mentioned any nazis or creationists.

>It's one thing to judge a work by its creator rather than its content, but you don't even bother reading the content.

Again, would you bother to read a nazi history? Or a creationist one? If not, why not? Is it because you know before you begin what conclusion they will reach, AND you know that they will present facts selectively and perhaps deceptively, making them useless even as a resource? If yes, then please list the last few nazi histories you've read, and how useful you found them.

These people do not rely on sense. They rely on shouting really loudly and hoping people pay attention no matter how factual the words are.

>And why are you putting you """gf"""'s pussy on such a high pedadstal;
I'm literally doing the exact opposite.

It's just sex. Kissless virginals have a difficult time comprehending how mundane an urge it is, and how once you reach mature adulthood, people settle the fuck down and stop stressing themselves out over high school bullshit like who slept with who. You're both mature enough to know what you want and what's expected of you in a committed relationship.

>in hope of getting access to her wrecked roastie?
That just tells me that your one of them, because you obviously have no idea how a woman's vagina works, how it doesn't "wear out" if she has lots of sex, how it naturally returns to its original tight position in time for tomorrow night's screw. One day you'll get a girlfriend and understand. Or you'll give up and solicit a prostitute and realize that even the snatch of a woman whose had hundreds of partners is still tight af, which will be a small consolation to you in your moment of pussified surrender

Problem is that when you only you know ONE entire way of being (your societal paradigm), and in particular you come from a culture that strongly regards family honour and cohesion, and that has arranged marriages, well... what else should poll subjects say?

I'm sure there were happy content slaves here and there, or happy and content American voters who are total tools successfully convinced to work against their interests.

Just ask upper or middle-class Indians, for example, who are exposed to western ideas. Many dis-prefer arranged marriages. They will let their parents go through the trappings of traditional arranged marriage procedures, but for someone they have basically ALREADY themselves chosen. Of course, that's when there is already mutual interest between a pair. Some arranged marriage systems are basically just parent-led dating. Depends how strict individuals involved are. As women are basically baby-making cooks, cleaners and fucktoys that gets a dowry, for less educated and poorer families,
