You can substitute any gender / orientation into this common and age-old scenario
That’s just not true. Women worked together with men since the beginning of humanity. It is the wealth accumulation in capitalism era allowed some men to take women as property
Ok… Capitalism era is a very long time. Are you talking Adam Smith era?
Either way this exchange is not new -/ and I don’t think people should continue to feign shock and express judgement. It’s silly
Somewhere since 15th century women could become wives and work for the household if upper society. Most still worked . Prostitution was very limited, considered against morals and contained. it’s not like women were selling themselves en masse as a gender and the men were buying en masse. My great grandmother was working fields while married so were most other women in her village.
Is this like a “Brigerton” but in 15th Century Europe? Are you sure?
Working in field … um, okay. I am
sure that was a all hands on deck enterprise … including children. Animals too, to pull things (children were used to push and pull things).
