I'm Officially On A TERF Block List, I've Never Felt So Accomplished.

I'm officially on a TERF block list, I've never felt so accomplished.

Depends on what you mean. A family I worked for had geese (and lots of other animals) and they taught me to just pick up the goose if it tried to attack me. And this was like, a giant white goose out of a storybook. But if it was a wild goose... I'd lose that fight.

Ladies this is important- do you think you could realistically fight a goose and win?

Anyway, if you read marriage certificates from church records, a full 85% of first marriages for young women were around 18-19 years old. The rest skewed higher, into the early twenties, with only a few being below that age and only one in a thousand was younger than 16. 

The age of puberty has declined over the centuries as girls get better nutrition, as well, so throughout the middle ages the age at which a girl could expect her first period was around 16, where modern girls often get it much younger. 

The idea that women in earlier ages were married and mothers in their early teens is a myth. Marriages of children were usually only between noble families, and made for political reasons, or creepy old bastards who wanted a child-wife and could get away with it because they were rich and powerful. They often would point to the fact that the Roman elite did the same thing as justification. The Romans, of course, would point to the Greeks doing the same thing as justification, the Greeks pointed at the Assyrians, and so on back through the ages. 

It was considered disgusting by normal people then and still is. 

This myth is still brought out and touted by sick fuckers. Know it for what it is; a falsehood. 

When I saw the story today in the news, I had to stop what I was doing and call my mom about it. I loved the very hungry caterpillar as a child. RIP Eric Carle, your illustrations live on.

Reading a textbook chapter on emergency preparedness and of course they threw in the potential of biohazards, including smallpox. My first thought was 'but we have a vaccine for smallpox' and my second thought was 'No one under the age of 50 is vaccinated though' (they stopped regularly vaccinating in 1972) and that was a terrifying thought.

THAT'S THE WAY THEY ALL COME THROUGH LIKE
