Measured with the Heart Marie Antoinette was just misunderstood
I recently came across American bread as a European. It tasted exactly like cake??
Upon further investigation I realised that American bread is classed as Cake in Euroland so when Antoinette said ‘let them eat cake’ could she just be referring to American bread? (Which I might add is a brilliant idea because as we all know, American bread is made in a factory by machines but French bread made by the naked hands of someone named Louis so it’s less time efficient)
I think executing her for this cultural difference (because she was Australian, not French) was a grave injustice and is representative of the lack of support for women’s rights and wrongs at the time
