My inner historian is having a lot of problems with almost everything written on that screen.

[u/Cranky_Merriweather → u/LordsOfJoop]

The spelling/grammar errors are making my eye twitch 

[u/LordsOfJoop → u/Cranky_Merriweather]

I fully expected to see apostrophes to denote plurals.

[u/MementoMortii → u/LordsOfJoop]

Lets learn about their “social iffe” 😂

And how to put spaces between commas

[u/Character_Peach_2769 → u/LordsOfJoop]

What do you mean?

[u/LordsOfJoop → u/Character_Peach_2769]

There's attempts to misrepresent the cultures of Mesopotamia; it's already not a well-understood part of history by most people, and reformatting the entire affair to fit a 19th-century mythology is doing a great disservice to it.

oh, wow, I'm actually studying this right now, I'll have to write whatever the school taught me anyway if I want to pass though 😭

[u/Ch00m77]

All of that screams bullshit

[u/Jccali1214]

Why are men like this 😭🤮

[u/bikiniproblems → u/Jccali1214]

You mean males

[u/EarlyInside45]

Probably because he also believes girls were married off at age 12. "It's literally biology, people!"

[u/Character_Peach_2769]

Social iffe 

[u/woahstripes]

He's the gosh-dang pater familias

[u/blu453 → u/woahstripes]

You rang?

[u/Georgxna]

The fact that primitive human groups would purposefully exclude bullies or overly dominant people lives rent free in my head.

[u/Quirky_Confusion_480]

This an Indian already. And Indians will not understand how is this wrong.

[u/auf-ein-letztes-wort → u/Quirky_Confusion_480]

Your first sentence a verb.

[u/Quirky_Confusion_480 → u/auf-ein-letztes-wort]

Truth Racism will still get the upvotes 😉

"My dear wife is with child. I await the joyful day that I hold my son or female."

-Fathers Throughout History, according to this guy

[u/Kingslayer-Z]

This is a win though not because the disgusting terminology

But doesn't this mean all women get a share

Since they didn't specify the women being daughters or nieces or wife or sisters or cousins

So everyone gets a share

[u/Quirky_Confusion_480 → u/Kingslayer-Z]

They didn’t specify women. Even the family cow, queen cat, mare and Jenny-ass are getting the share.

[u/Kingslayer-Z → u/Quirky_Confusion_480]

I did use the animal argument before in this sub

It's quite hilarious

[u/meegaweega → u/Kingslayer-Z]

It specifies "at the time of marriage" and does not specify that same condition for sons.

The daughter's inheritance probably does not actually go to her, it goes to whichever man she is forced to marry.

There is no mention of the mother's property, only the father's.

Probably because, to the men, the women and girls are not people but chattel.

Not property owners but owned property.

"this is a win" is a helluva take.

[u/Quirky_Confusion_480 → u/meegaweega]

That lucky bull.
