Victorian insults?
Currently writing a story set in the Victorian Era (1850's, specifically).
Does anyone know of any Victorian insults used to emasculate a person?
Many thanks!

1890s Christmas stocking stuffers
Hi all! New to the forum and don’t post much at all, but I’d love some input and advice for a niche topic. My family is doing time period-themed stockings this year, and I’m looking to pull together one that’s specifically late Victorian, 1890s or so (for an adult). What would you expect to find? So far, I’m thinking socks or a scarf, an orange and nuts, some toiletries, maybe some hard candies. Looking forward to hearing any suggestions!

How to priest
(Yes, this is a repost since my last question was too broad)I’m writing a character who becomes a priest in the late Victorian era(I’m talking like 1890s late). He’s a Jesuit priest and the son of a millionaire basically. What’s his day to day like? Does his wealth affect him in any ways? Can he visit his family? What was his process of becoming a priest like? It’s a niche topic so I can’t find anything and I feel bad about using chat gpt. Can anybody get me some resources and links as well?
