>"It's very hard to get positive female role models in the history of the Roman empire. You think you've got one, and then, oh no. She's been raped. And killed herself. If you're going to remove the sexual violence, you cannot tell the story of Rome"
"ok" - me
>you can't be a positive female role model if you are raped
do feminists ever listen to themselves?

Like 80% of historical male role models killed themselves for their values; it makes them more inspiring, not less. Women should toughen the fuck up.

seriously stop giving sociologists a platform
most stories aren't told of anyone in the past. its all rich people who chronicle their lives, which would've made up 1% of the population. The rest just lived and died as wagekeks and no one knows their story

yes, we know HOW they lived. thats it though. nothing changes that the fact that the largely illiterate masses never wrote anything down. which is why ancient graffiti is so interesting
