Intuitive fred888: cosseted meaning: All these years and I'm 78 I thought people were saying Victorian Women were Closeted instead of Cosseted

So, it's taken me 78 years to find it was never closeted but Cosseted instead. But, it is also true that this is a term used regarding Victorian Ladies and definitely not Flappers or anyone else really ever since. Because it was a way they kept women relatively ignorant of the real world and just how bad and insane it really was if possible then in Victorian England.
