It’s a sperm production thing, as explained below. BUT there is a workaround; you can increase your chances of getting pregnant by having sex twice in one day with two different men.

I’m honestly not nearly as skeeved out by sibling relationships as parent/child ones, especially if they didn’t know about it when they met. There’s less of a weird power dynamic?

yeah, tbh, if this were a sibling situation, i’d say live and let live, but there’s such a power dynamic inherent in any may/december thing, and the parental aspect just makes it that much worse.

Pretty much! The deal is: right around the time of the war of Independance, a new non-rhotic (basically skips over rs that aren’t at the beginning of words, ie. car= cah, etc. lots of long open vowels) type of pronunciation comes into vogue for the british upper class, then starts to trickle down the social ladder.…

YES. The idea of the female nude as representative of something other than a person - purity, nature, whateverthefuck - is old as shit and only reinforces women as symbols not symbolized. Not only is the project unhelpful and regressive, it’s conceptually fucking boring.
