i just assume by "ancient literature" these racist/sexist bros are usually talking about Victorian thinkers, tbh. It seems like if they're going to behave like stereotypical cave men, they probably think 100 years is ancient. (i bet real cave men knew about the clit though)

An astute observation. Recently, I was in a taxi in Coventry, England, and as we passed the grounds of King Henry VIII School, I told the young driver I had been a student there. He asked why it was called that. I said because the king founded it. "Wow," he said. "Is that like older than Victoria?"

There was a documentary called Lothar of the Hill People that addressed this very problem. youtu.be/pET29E1Ct_U?...
