bob-dude: priscellie: postmodernmulticoloredcloak: yiffmaster: this is my fav bc an actual major cause for the fall of rome was the resistance of the wealthy to paying taxes which led to a crumbling of infrastructure but who cares about thaaaaat “Feminism killed Rome” is my new favorite sentence of all time. Also ballooning military spending, a widening gap between rich and poor, religious intolerance following the Emperor’s embrace of Christianity, and lead poisoning of the water supply. *looks at camera* *Looks at the patriarchal society of Rome* There was Feminism back then? In what form did it take? The only thing I can think of was the wars draining their male population faster than they could train more soldiers leading women to be more proactive for a limited amount of time. Like what happened to the Western world after the World Wars. It’s just our modern day societies didn’t collapse before they had their feminist boom a few decades later. Like with all the deaths in WW1, women had to fill in a lot of service roles during WW2. This was the case for almost every participant. So many women in the workforce gave new perspectives on women’s place in society and after the Cold War with the avoidance of WW3 women got pissed at not being treated fairly despite like 3 and a half generations of women being necessary to keep things functional. Rome just didn’t have that chance though as the Western Roman Empire collapsed before they could have a Cold War period. Though I’ll state I am grasping at straws trying to make sense of a really stupid comment.Rome wasn’t even the capital of the “Roman Empire” for decades by the time it fell. -- source link
