Those ancient greeks man…they were so progressive, with their democracy and their separation of biological sex from their sexuality.

I’m no historian but it really sounds like Greece was a pretty sweet place, at least for the privileged classes. I consider myself pretty straight, but the idea of truly free love is absolutely magical.

You know one of the most surefire methods of oppression…particularly among slaves or a subservient class…is to control their sexuality? Complete control over who, when, and where you may fuck. Tough to do on a population level though. But we can make certain behaviors uncouth. Make homosexuality a “sin”, make sodomy and interracial marriage criminal, etc.

Some things, in our biological and ethical scope, make sense…like incest and pedophilia. Although it could also be said that our knowledge of biology and ethical code also prohibited sodomy and interracial intercourse, while apparently Ancient Greece’s encouraged them.

Now do Alexander the Hamilton. He liked Laurens a lot, and also Mulligan’s pants.

Yeah right. Like I am a man and I don’t wear makeup but that actually sounds fascinating. I would fly to space and wear it for science.

That’s like 14 tampons a day…

…Thanks for filling me in!

Phrasing!

Nasa engineers asked the first American female astronaut, Sally Ride, back in 1983, if 100 tampons would be enough for her 1-week mission.

Apparently the engineers may have had an understanding of menstruation…but they didn’t have an understanding of how menstruation works in zero-gravity. So, in true NASA fashion, they wanted to have redundancies on redundancies.

Sally informed them that 100 would be more than enough and she could do with far fewer.
