Is it true that Victorian era British prudishness was a reaction to the previous era "lewdness"?
I read previous it used to be common for women to wear dresses with cleavage showing and non penetrative sex between unmarried couples was common place.
Also was the Prudish mostly a British thing or did it expand to other western countries?
Yea Regency Period was all about the king/aristocracy getting drunk, divorcing, and partying, and the fashion was flamboyant for both sexes
Victorianism was the worse thing that ever happened to British fashion. The Regency period harkens to the Greeks, so you know it was great.
>Native American stone age
manages to build large mounds, pyramids and machu pichu
>european stone age
only famous structure is a bunch of rocks forming a circle
why didn't stone age europoors build anything cool?
>>1309882
I'd venture to say because they weren't in the stone age for as long, but the real answer is that the weather and environment probably pushed their focus elsewhere. Jared-Diamondesque determinism applies to Euros too.
Probably due to their genetic inferiority.
Pyramids and Macchu Picchu weren't built in the stone age

Satan is a sexual narcissist who's power is manipulating humanity into thinking he's their righteous liberator rebelling against the unjust authority of God, but as you come to know Satan on a deeper level, you will see that he is ultimately just a spoiled, petulant child throwing a temper tantrum and trying to drag all of humanity into his misery.

"They tell us that all Kings are bad; that God never made a King; and that all Kings are very expensive. But, that all Kings are bad cannot be true: because God himself is one of them; he calls himself King of Kings; which not only shows us he is a King, but he has other Kings under him: he is never called King of Republics. The Scripture calls Kings, the Lord’s Anointed; but who ever heard of an anointed Republic?"
kings aren't selected on merit
