Atashangaa mengi kwenye awamu ya Marie Antoinette
Quoted from my book (1999) Impossibility of Gender Equality pages 164-165: "Women should never lead men in all spheres of Power, Politics and Authority because Men is a Superior Gender as a Gift of Nature"
Marie Antoniette was a kind of a French queen who had an extended arrogance to the extent that she directly necessitated the French revolution in 1789. Born in 1775, Marie was the beautiful queen of France who died on guillotine just after the French revolution. The way of her incompatible ruling behaviour coupled with bad advice to her husband, King Louis the XVI, led to the decline of King Louis’s regime in the great French revolution in 1789. The Word Book Encyclopaedia (1992) explains Marie Antoniette as uneasy kind of a queen who lost popularity completely, she was hated by almost every body.
As for her brief history-back-ground it is told that the young queen was witty, lively and extravagant. The stiff formalities of court life bored her to the extent that she entertained herself with such enjoyments like horse races, gambling and fancy balls.
As a matter of fact, Marie lacked good and proper education and cared very little for serious affairs. Her frivolity and plotting contributed to the undermining of the Monarchy as she contributed a lot to the takeoff of the French revolution. She did not hesitate to urge the dismissal of able French Ministers whose efforts to reduce royal spending threatened her pleasures. King Louis XVI gave her the château called the Petit Trianon, where the queen and her friends amused themselves.
Another nauseating story that was told about Marie is that, she exposed her arrogance to the extreme when she was asked to give categorical reasons officially as to why the Parisians were angry with her. The dialogue between her and the Parisian representatives went like this:
The representatives: Madame, can you tell us what might be
the reasons behind the Parisianis anger
on you together with the regime as a
whole?”
Marie Antoniette: It’s because they don’t have bread!
Marie Antoniette: ...and why don’t they eat cake?
The representatives: Ugh!
Sasa haya ndiyo ya huyo bibi aliyekwenda Beijin mwaka 1995 na sasa anatekeleza!
