h girls were considered "used property." A rape was only considered outrageous if it was the rape of a noblewoman. As is obvious, the mind sets of the upperclass during the Renaissance were severely misplaced. Not only were the social standings of women lowered during this time of rebirth, but it was the noblewomen who were put down. It would seem more logical for the entire idea to be switched around. However, we cannot tell what exactly they thought during this time, we can only hope to learn from it. Women have come a long way in their fight for equality, but they still have such a long road ahead of them....
