We can't stop here, This is twat cuntry!

Upper pic is the original post, lower pic is the post as I’ve seen at least 5 times in my dash these past days.

This is the reason deleting the OP’s comment is just plain disrespectful. This is probably one of the most interesting posts I’ve seen on Tumblr, and it got degraded to a talk about “bloo bloo boys don’t get it I hate my body :(“. Like seriously, the original post has absolutely no relation to self-consciousness, why would ANYONE see this post about the origins of a historical and mysterious art piece and think it’d be a good idea to delete the whole explanation and replace it such a terrible caption.

In Sparta, women could own land and were considered citizens. THAT IS A HUGE BIG FUCKING DEAL. Why? Because that was RARE AS FUCK and there are lots of places TODAY where women don’t even get that much.

Divorce was totally fine, and a woman could expect to keep her own wealth and get custody of the kids because paternal lineage wasn’t very important. And it didn’t make her a pariah! She could totally remarry, no big deal at all.

Spartan women participated in some fuckin’ badass sporting events, too. And because they were expected to be as physically fit as the Spartan menfolk (who all had to serve compulsory military duties, btw, and couldn’t marry until they finished them at thirty) they didn’t have time for lots of swishy dresses. So they wore notoriously short skirts. According to some accounts, their thighs were visible at all times. HOLY SHIT. 

Also, In Sparta men only got their names on their graves if they died in battle. And women? Women only got their names on their graves if they died in childbirth. THE SPARTANS COMPARED CHILDBIRTH TO FUCKING BATTLE AND IT WAS VIEWED AS A GODDAMN BADASS AND HONORABLE WAY TO GO OUT.
