Anonymous asked: Hey! So I was reading some of your responses to asks and I saw you said something along the lines of: "Ever since Europeans have been thinking about women and there sexuality, they have been condemning it" which is actually not true! Please, I implore you to look up some of the myths that are either pagan or predate King James III. The whole "Sex Is Evil And You Shouldn't Enjoy It" thing is relatively new and was started by a sort of moral crusade in the 1400s. Have a nice day!

I was being super offhand with my phrasing in that post - I was referring more to Christian traditions within Europe, but you’re right: it’s not that simple. I’m a mythology and history nerd, so I know that there’s a lot more complexity to it than that, but that felt like kind of a different point to tangent off into, so.
