I need y’all to go and watch “The Ascent of Woman” on netflix right now if any of you care about women’s history, intersectional feminism, or how societies were organized before ideas of the nuclear family fucked everything up.
I want to but it’s not on German netflix *whiiiiine*
:(((((((
The lady historian doing this show is 70000% done with men’s bullshit it’s glorious.
The faint hint of utter disdain every time she says “Patriarchy” is beautiful.
And then she’s pointing at a tablet written by Enheduanna, high priestess of Inanna and first published author in history, and you can see the profound respect and love in her eyes.
Oh my god I just realized that she has not spoken to a single male expert in this whole show yet.
Just women.
Okay one dude has popped up but he’s happily expanding on Scythian tribes and how women ran the shit out of that social structure and weapons being found in female burials.
Oh my god she is dragging the Athenian Greeks right now and it is glorious.
SHE’S GOING AFTER ARISTOTLE FOR BEING A DICK NOW I LOVE THIS
