Both girls and boys, used as political weapons and pawns.
Girls as political land and power grabs, bringing political unions between powerful families, as well as giving birth to an heir.
And Boys, groomed to be in positions of powers and used by higher powers their entire lives and/or used to gain influence in both the Palatine and the battlefield, the battlefield where they must risk life and limb in order to gain influence.
Both suck really. But both come with Priveledge. Priveledge that niether 98% of boys have in that era and in that same respect 98% of girls would never have.
.
Dont let “positions of authority” blind you from the deeper issue with Males who are groomed for such positions. They’re literally chess pieces and nothing more. Disposable just as much as anyone else given the circumstance. While it comes with Priveledge, murder is almost always looming over their shoulders and its something never talked about when talking about male privilege. Again, 98% of males never have and never will grow up with that Priveledge.
Same goes for girls who become Duchesses and Countesses etc. They may have less Priveledge than their male counterpart but we’re talking about the 2%. The other 98% of girls married for love not politics and they never had such a privilege or a tragic life of being “sold”.
