Female/Male? Are they sure it wasn’t a non-binary or maybe some brand of trans-Viking?
I’ve been watching the short series “Norsemen” on Netflix. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
History Revisionism Alert!
Excuse the crude side of me....looks like being pussy whipped isn’t a recent thing....
The best strategist, the person best able to assure survival was going to rise to leadership. An extremely intelligent and resourceful woman would do exactly that, and everyone in the tribe would be glad to depend on her.
I have always been surrounded by strong women: my mother, my wife, my daughter. The strength, intelligence, and brilliance of women is nothing new; it's something I have always depended upon, cherished, and taken for granted. I'm not unusual in this respect.
What's really annoying is the assumption of mediocre minds--especially in the "feminist movement" and among so-called "liberals" (there's nothing liberal about these people)--that the world has had some kind of epiphany about all this. Baloney! Strong women have been everywhere throughout history. Men love strong women. This is nothing new.
However, in times and places where survival is not on the edge, the roles of men and women adjust to complement each other. My wife can concentrate on more domestic matters. I can concentrate on matters that men do well. E. g., I"m glad to get sweaty and dirty while she rests among flowers on the sofa, waiting for me to join her for dinner that she has prepared. But you can be sure that if my wife had to wrestle a rattlesnake, or take on a home intruder, or defend our children and me from a bear, she would be every bit as fierce and triumphant as this Viking woman.
By the way, the smartest thing anyone could do if we experienced an apocalypse, e.g. a nuclear war, would be to grab my wife’s skirt and hang on, because she would survive and so would everyone around her. Her greatest resource would be her mind (strategy), but if she had to do it with a battle axe, she would.
Oh an one more thing: My wife is drop dead gorgeous.
Whips and shackles in the grave, too?
Maybe it was not that the horses were being burried for her but the other way around. Horses were important back then.
Perhaps a transgendered man in a woman’s body
