Does history interest you?

I love history but you know.. I just think most history is his-story..

 

fully. most of what we are taught is recorded by middle to upper class white men- one needs to very much read between the lines.

 

And thankfully, women are exceptional at that.

 

Why is one talking like middle to upper class white man from England?

 

She is eloquent and expressive.

 

if it weren't for men like me, nothing would have been recorded :tongue:

 

don't know how my middle to lower class but still under the poverty line third generation greek-canadian female accent is not coming out through my typing.

"ya. I think they're both right hot...until the gross looking burger comes into the situation- then I kind of loose my lady boner."

Yes, very eloquent and very expressive.

 

That was the first thing I had ever read so, I won't judge you.
It just made me smile when you said: One.
I thought only the Queen said that.

 

come now! lets keep it in context! I feel that my language changes up a tad by subject. Am not going to sound the same and use the same language talking about clown fetishes as I would talking about the history of gender.

 

Doesn't bother me

 

Yes, because women didn't exist until Susan B. Anthony and the Suffragettes...

Actually I don't disagree very much. To tie this altogether, women had equal standing in Celtic society. They held equal position in their class with men. They were warriors, Druids, bards and leaders.

Yeah, I know, I was only pulling your impressive leg.

 

I'm glad I have an impressive leg

 

Middle leg?

For sure, very true. It even bothers me sometimes how many people think history is an objective thing. It's always subjective. That's why it's rewritten every couple of decades or so (for the last century).

 

You know, when I was younger, I absolutely hated history. Now, I'm fascinated by it.
