That too would've been monarchs.

menarche*

FFS.

jews have a rite of passage at 13
bar/bat mitzvah

which included betrothal

Yeah but did Moses say "have a bar mitzvah at 13"

I'm wondering if the bar mitzvah is Talmudic or not now.

big thonk

Not even Talmudic.

Seems to have become a tradition over time.

regardless, 13 as age of passage is normal

Menarche would have also had a later onset in women during the biblical age.

like, you were a fully functioning member of society by 13

The age of puberty has gotten younger due to all the shit in our food.

the only reason to postpone pregnancy for women would have been to let their bodies develop more to be able to handle it better

Not even memeing, it'd be foolish to think all of the pesticides and growth hormones in our livestock don't bioaccumulate.

I didn't really go through puberty, per se.

Most folks have nightmarish acne, weird facial hair, ridiculously low voices, etc.

I skipped all of that and over the course of about six years just gradually became an adult.

Sounds like you got a good deal

Well, no. Because I sounded and looked like a child until I was 17.

Ah

Were you ridiculed for that

Is that a rhetorical question?

No, but you had plenty of folks assuming I was as young as 13.

It also didn't help that I had the worst wardrobe in all of England.

Are you looking fresh now mate

He does, tbf

Quite dapper.

You flatter me.

Not particularly, I just don't look homeless anymore.

Looking like you're homeless is the newest jive don't u know

kek

freud was full of shit. but that marketing campaing was a *smashing* success

Freud must have had some weird fetishes tbh

yeah

and this is the man that defined a century

ever see century of the self documentary? its bbc, and it off key confirms like a dozen conspjracy theories

Actual conspiracy theories? Or shit like the USS Liberty

You don't believe everything said about the USS Liberty?

I believe everything about the USS Liberty
