The queen might be a front figure to any female movement – and be highlighted on this day of women’s celebration. Believe it or not, - despite any opinions, - some conditions related to the Thrones are harder than anywhere else. Hence, this wisdom by Margrete II to dethrone in proper time should be honored by any feminists in Denmark. It seems the best way to sustain a stable and developing constitution. Moreover, Dane feminists should celebrate the new queen for an utmost achievement. This blog will further investigate these thoughts on the global women’s day of 8th of March.
Still, the queen was extremely discriminated in her 50 years period of reign. The parliamentary remains of the Cold War, Folketinget, did not provide the queen the rightful power as stated for kings in the Constitutional Law. There is no larger discrimination of women in the history of Denmark. The constitutional mischief is still silenced as any shameful taboo. However, now Denmark has 2 queens. It is highly on time to upgrade the constitutional law to ‘heritage law’, - it seems that can be initiated by the king, the son, the husband.
Actually, ruling queens have an extraordinary hard time due to sexism in the LEJ powers (Legal, Executive, Judicial powers. Moreover, “Behind a great man is a great woman” is a recognized saying of truth. Any family is an organisation and a kingdom is most certainly so. In any society there are divisions of work for organisational functionality. Yet it is even hard to tell who is the psychosocial superpower of Drive, Will and Belief, - of LEJ. So, it is for any kind of decision, good as bad, functional as dysfunctional.
Denmark has a history of queendoms of different property, functionality and faith. The Danish liberating women on the 8th of March could and should remind themselves of women that actually made it to the top. Some of them are talked through in the blog UU20180323:
“Ingeborg Valdemardatter of Novgorod, the daughter of Valdemar I of Denmark and Sofia of Minsk, was the queen in France, just for a day,- and then locked away for 20 years. (UU20170505). Margrete I had a 5-year-old son as king and did indirectly established the Nordic (Kalmar) Union (UU20140502). The mother of Christian IV must have been very influential since he was crowned the king just 15 years old. Demark started its most expansive period when Christian the 4th was too young for such enterprises, -yet most of the kingdom collapsed in wars when he got real power. Catarina (the Great) from Holstein was widowed soon after the marriage to the tsar and became an extremely expansionist tsarina. Princess Dagmar of Denmark/Holstein (alias tsarina Maria Feodorovna) was the mother of the last tsar and most influential to the Russian empire. Louise, the princess of Glücksburg/Holstein, continued the royal bloodline since the King, Christian 9, was not of any royal family. The queen to Christian 7, that proposed the building a Baltic/Atlantic canal, as an alternative route between the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Sea, was forced to stop when he was declared schizophrenic. His wife got pregnant with and adviser who was later sentenced to death by being torn apart in public.” (Now, that 98 km Kiel canal that links the Baltic and Atlantic Sea is one of the world’s most frequently used.)
Today, Denmark has 2 queens, since the abdication by ‘the princess of Iceland’ was no abolition of the Throne. Moreover, the new king Frederik X has a queen from the very republican Australia. Now, this globalized Kingdom will might be the most influential queendom too. After all, - we are all humans of the humanity. Yet, the cold war public institutions will most probably continue the sexist disempowerment of the Throne, - despite parliamentary, constitutional ‘rule by law’.
By the way, , imagine if a king’s spouse merely were titled princess ‘gemahl’ by some authorities. That would cause grave unrest on the Women’s Day of 8th March.
