Apparently breastfeeding has offended people at least since 1741.
The book “Niels Klim’s Underground Travels” is a sci-fi/fantasy novel from 1741 by Ludvig Holberg about a man who falls though a hole into a world within our planet. He lands in what the author imagined an utopian society to be like, inhabited by creatures that resemble trees.
Even though the people there believe in a god, there is no real religion because nobody can know god’s will, and anyone can work as anything they desire as long as they are good at it, no matter ethnicity or gender.
Niels is deeply offended by this, especially when he sees that one of the country’s highest positions is taken by a “female palm tree” and he suggest to the king that women should lose all rights like in his world. What’s really offensive to Niels is that the woman breastfeeds her child! On the job!
This suggestion gets Niels kicked out of the country because it would weaken the country to deny half the population the right to work when there are plenty of talented and skilled women who might be better suited for a job than a man, and what the fuck is up with being offended by breastfeeding? Women’s breasts were made for feeding babies! Out!
Niels at one point end up in a province where men are treated like women. They have few rights and have to suffer constant sexual harassment in one form or another, and Niels can not believe how anyone can treat another person like that!
Niels eventually become the king of another country of dark skinned people and totally ruins their society, so you know, Ludvig Holberg was not fucking around and had no time for colonialism either. You can find the story for free on the internet.
modern greek mythology adaptation where hades and persephone are played by john mulaney and his wife
She’s hades, he’s Persephone
Please
No no no, you don’t understand. He’s definitely Hades. She’s definitely Persephone.
A sheepish, shy-ish kind of guy with a super dry wit who will just go with the flow and really just wants to eat some soda crackers and do his job and really appreciates the aesthetics of a cave where no one else can even enter and he can be super alone, maybe collect some rocks, chill with his dog?
And a tiny, cheerful, dynamo who does not hesitate to tell you what she thinks and is incredibly erudite, who unflinchingly strikes out on her own and does her own thing, adores her dog, knows lots about beauty and youth, and who laughs delightedly when her husband says ‘my wife is a bitch and I love her so much’?
