this book continues to have my jaw absolutely dropped. someone please read it so i can talk to you about it.

did you know the saying “men are from mars, women are from venus” dates back to early roman times? the ideal man was a strong and conquering warrior like Mars, the god of war. a perfect woman was sexually available and beautiful like Venus, the goddess of erotic love. because the romans treated women as inferior - an object, they weren’t even given first names. they had no identity. disheartening.
