Yes, because outrage culture is very much not a thing which runs rampant on social media.
And victim of what exactly here? Possible poor quote choice, while any cursory glance at the ad would have given light to the intent and meaning?
As to if Wilde would have included women were there any who were historians in his time or were he living in modern times we’ll never know. Of course given what we do know of Wilde, I’d rather doubt he’d want to exclude women and was only speaking on matters as they were. Unless there’s some evidence he was a minsogynst I’m unaware of, feel free to provide any you’re aware of.
