I’m a dude, but I grew up with little sisters and kind of am void of piggish tendencies due to that I think, I realize women aren’t objects at least. Kink is kink and sexuality is sexuality, but I would assume women want to be able to post photos without some nasty ass dude or neckbeard in the comments section commenting about how fat her ass or boobs are or how they would “hit it”. Or walk down the street without some dog trying to hit on her.

I just saw something like this happen on twitter unfortunately and ive seen it life as well from some of friends who I tell to their faces they’re being pigs.

I think thoraboos are hilarious bc in some places “Viking” gender roles were at least partially flipped - Men were considered too dumb and flighty to handle math or money so women were in charge of finances and household economics, while men got an allowance. Women controlled property and could divorce if they wanted to. It was an extremely different cultural and legal environment than the uwu demure viking tradwife a lot of those nerds seem to believe in.

on the other hand they did have a trade in slaves and violence against women was considered a legitimate means of a man insulting another man (e.g. Froki hates Ragnar so Froki might assault Ragnars wife)

The vikings weren’t all that progressive

Yeah. They were awful, just they were awful in their own culturally specific ways. : )
