Aaaaaaaaaa ban misogyny 
"This little book of 1558 was an outspoken and uncompromising attack against the rule of women. The author, John Knox, a leading Protestant reformer from Scotland, wrote the pamphlet while in Geneva as an exile from Catholic England. The Latinate phrase 'monstruous regiment' means 'unnatural rule', and in this highly misogynystic work, Knox argues that the idea of women ruling goes against the laws of God and nature. He argues that female rule challenges the God-given authority of men over women, and that women are incompetent to rule, being weak, foolish and cruel by nature, and lacking the masculine capacities necessary to govern...although his views on women were not novel or even unusual, he was particularly vehement in them, not leaving any room for exceptions and calling for women rulers to be deposed. Later that year when Elizabeth I came to the English throne, although she was a Protestant she was deeply offended by the First Blast and refused Knox entry to the country."
