Nah, this shit wasnt always a wedge issue.

Literally the only thing ancient rome got right.

(Ancient Greece also had baklava)

'Bottoming', anal. It can be nice. Some people really really really like it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know, that's not what I said though. I said the Romans did discriminate, against bottoms.

Yeah but it was more of a condition than a social wedge issue. Hierarchal toxic masculinity shit, not so much class persecution, and didn't in a lot of cases (I might be remembering a Greek thing, so easy to mix them up when roman culture is mostly a shitty port of Greek culture) topping/bottoming get based on age? Or did that not carry over?

What makes you think modern homophobia is class persecution?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not as in Marxist class, but as in programmer class.

As in I'm saying ancient Greeks discriminated saw the act as demeaning/lesser, but did not, I don't think, see it as an identity, abd what role one performed was based on status/age/whatever.

One was not a bottom (though perhaps was x's bottom), but did bottoming.

Iirc, at least the Romans wrote rhymes insulting people who were especially career bottoms, but yeah I don't know what they did as they got older.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Like I said; I'm working from half remembered history of Greece, whose culture Rome's was a shitty port of, but I wouldn't put it past the romans to add hierarchal shittiness.
