The vast majority of countries that used to have this problem addressed it by abolishing the peerage entirely The idea that this is some difficult pie in the sky task and we need to make a gender neutral peerage as an intermediate step is fucking laughablehttps://twitter.com/SophieRunning/status/1327884125634703363 …

Yeah, there's almost no examples of a Duchess inheriting her title in her own right in English history but several famous examples on the Continent (Eleanor of Aquitaine etc) But this didn't make Italy, Austria, France, Russia etc less sexist in general than England at all

And all those suo jure duchesses vanished because one way or another those countries ended up abolishing the peerage and taking the duchy back for the people Which I guess we're supposed to be sad about? It reduced the total amount of Girl Power in the aristocracy?
