The point is people used to know and understand the differences and now both men and women are being indoctrinated to see things through an ideological "lens".

you have to weigh the cost benefit of it

okay so we got the idea of a government of the people from it

here is my thought on egalitarianism

but at the same time, it led to women taking over our society

I think thats worse

There was this thing that separated men and women, it was called; the difference of spheres

"“All men are not created equal. Some are born swifter of foot, some with greater beauty. Some are born into poverty and others born sick and feeble. Both in birth and in upbringing in sheer scope of ability every human is inherently different. Yes, that is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is struggle, competition, and the unfaultering mark of progress. Inequality is not wrong, equality is.” - Charles Zi Britannia, Code Geass :V

Men should be in the public life, women the private

@Ettow I find it hard to disagree with that

:V

egalitarianism is complete cancer

leads to the stagnation and death of a society

^

Well so does population.

We're repeating the same mistakes Rome made

yes by embracing hyperegalitarianism

ever heard of Silphium?

No. Should we have?

Well its interesting.

lul

I cant really say you *should* have heard of it

😄

Until you mentioned it, I didnt find the word familiar

So tell me about it

Its a plant that was used as birth control in antiquity.

To the point of possible extinction.

Oh, that sounds like some serious shit

In this context, namely by the romans.

woot

Makes sense

Did women take it or men?

🤔

the romans faced the same problem we do today: decadence and complacency

>inb4 permanently sterilized men

eventually they looked their version of the comet in the face and did what we would do today: just fuck and do copious amounts of drugs

Origin of the ❤ symbol

Greek. In the 6th-5th century BC, the heart shape was used to represent the heart-shaped fruit of the plant Silphium,[1] a plant possibly used as a contraceptive[2] Many species in the parsley family have estrogenic properties, and some, such as wild carrot, were used to induce abortion.[3] Silver coins from Cyrene of the 6–5th BC bear a similar design, sometimes accompanied by a silphium plant and is understood to represent its seed or fruit.[4]

I imagine if men took it wouldnt completely sterilize them considering their constantly producing semen

Interesting
