Omg, sad for the fisher wives.

Societies have rarely ever been kind to women. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't.

I love that he actually put that mouth thing on! This man is amazing and I've officially found my new favorite show!

@LaDelphy It's not as bad as what one of the men who shovelled the shit out of the sewers, which for starters is a horrible job anyway and were ostrasized by being banned from living in the city, but then if they spill some or mess up in some small way they can be carted around the city buried in shit up to your neck than taken outside the city and dumped. I'm sure there was even worse than that.

[unfortunatebeam]

It's annoying how this makes it seem like women had it so bad and worse (rather needlessly inserting the concept of women as property never stating that technially almost everyone was considered propoerty of the Crown-which during much of this time was a woma btw), when the vast majority of all these horrible, lowly, hazardous, ostraciszing, etc, jobs were fulfilled by men. Men also got just as much if not more of such public shamings and punishments.

@TheA7xskating I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about female homosexuality.

[IwillKillYourCereal]

@mikki2049 ....the bible states mainly that females don't have the same "urges" that men have, and wouldn't succumb to relations with another woman.
