“See you in three days hunny, it’s my Independence Day weekend.”
Gave the men a chance to visit with the blonde prosties.
Dont leave to quick. According to roman law, all it took was for a lady to be in his house for 3 days to be considered his. Your vacation has now turned into a separation. Congratulations 😂
That's what a hoe said.
All she was required to do is say "I divorce you" three times, and the marriage was dissolved
@@JS-wy6uwor don’t get married
the blonde rule definitely backfired
What he gets wrong is that this was a slow cultural change over generations so a gross mischaracterization...
Venus was blonde. She was not amused. Rome clearly suffered her wrath.
No, the women just started being honest about what they always were. For the streets.

Roman men: the hoes will be blond
Roman women: whatever whatever I do wat I want
lol I love that Cartman quote
The hoes will be blonde!
…julius why did my wife dye her hair blonde.
Hoes will be hoes
When i heard Cartman say that the first thing i thought of was he acting like a hood rat.
I think it's more like
Roman men: the hoes must not be brunette.
Non hoes: but he never said the non hoes must be brunette.
“It was difficult to tell the difference between women of class and prostitute” sounds like it came around 😂

Yep.

Romans to blonde women: ‘Barbarians!’
They were NOT thrown into a river "to drown".
They were thrown into a river to be torn to shreds by the various drowning animals sewn into the sack with them
I almost said you are right but then remembered that due to the instinct of survival, the animals would be concentrating on saving their lives rather than looking for food or rather getting furious
@@arafatm7277I believe the idea is you get thrown togethwr in a closed/sewn sack underwater, the animals clawing and scratching wildly to get out kill or maim you in the process (liekely still fatal), not trying to attack or eat you per se.

As a Roman historian, that focused on the first century, what primary sources did you use to acquire any of this information? Specifically the 3 day wife ownership rule.
🤓
Just kidding, good luck educating infotainment poisoned mooks.

Learning about ancient cultures is really fascinating. Interesting to see how we were similar and different.

@@Doktor_JonesInformation isn't inaccurate, just incredibly simplified. They probably just had it skim through wiki entries and stuff.
It's probably incorect or sensationalized
If you are going to learn form a video, do it from someone that cites its sources
History student preparing for a Roman history exam here, blonde woman were NOT all seen as prostitutes, however if you dyed your hair back than it was a sign of lust. About the marriage I studied that in the Roman Republic the woman custody switched from the father to the husband, in the Imperial age the woman remained under her father's custody because in the case of a divorce (yes it was pretty common in the imperial age) all her goods would remain in the hand of her family.
If u don't mind how did they dye their hair
@@justacutie.They dyed their hair with urine.
@@ericpowell4350 🤔 weird and interesting definitely, thx
I knew about the urine in clothes to eliminate the dirty spots but didn't know it also worked on hair
Though some women died their hair red. I think they used henna for that. Also if remember correctly eventually spouses weren't allowed to give each other gifts because they didn't want any fights over ownership to occur in case it divorce.
Ownership of women? SIGN ME UP!
When taking a holiday in order to “not become a slave” is totally relatable…
Agreed
Boy I hope your history lessons are accurate cuz they sure are entertaining 😂
The animals were in the sack to panic and tear them to ribbons trying to escape. Then, they would all drown. It actually quite brutal.
Roman society was, by todays norms, very brutal.
Actually brutal? I doubt anyone was thinking otherwise.
So that’s where the saying “blondes have more fun” come from!🤔
Makes sense
Was scrolling for this comment! 👍
no it wasnt
@@dustinchen you DO understand humor and sarcasm??!!
@@54blewis not through text
I hate to be the 'Actually...' guy, but in fact, it was like this: If you were living together with your girlfriend and she stayed with you for a whole year without being away for at least three days, your girlfriend would be considered MARRIED to you. NOT enslaved by you. I do get the confusion, though, as the Pater Familias had almost absolute power over all other family members.
Well shit what did the live animals do to get drowned with a criminal ? 🤦🏻♀️
Its why electric chair was invented 😜
Plz never change lol
They crucified dogs every year for centuries in a ritual to punish the guard dogs of rome for failing to warn them of an impending attack by the gauls. I doubt they had any qualms about drowning a bunch of animals in a ritual execution.
Don't expect too much from ancient people lmao
@@DieGoetterdaemmerungdon‘t forget the goose forced to watch all of this while on a throne because they did warn Rome
i imagine they mostly used rats and stray cats which in history have been huge issues for societies, so an effective way to use them for the society, they its cruel i agree, i just imagine that was their reasoning.
Fun fact: pants were considered barbaric as well in *early* Ancient Rome. This is because pants were developed for riding horses comfortably, which is something (mainly female) barbarians did. So pants were seen as both feminine and barbaric.
Yoooo
Not accurate. Pants were actually the norm in the latter half of the Roman empire, as the heart of the economic and social nature of Rome had shifted away from Rome. Soldiers often wore leather pants even before that as it was not tenable to fight in even mildly cold weather, which was a substantial portion of the empire at times.
you're confusing greek culture with roman culture
@Chris-es3wf that's true, but that is only after the Empire began expanding. I should have clarified that my comment was not referring to the totality of Ancient Rome. However, even when pants did become part of the military uniform, there were laws banning civilians from wearing leggings. Then after 100 years or so, the ban was lifted. Regardless, it is very interesting to see how for centuries pants were associated with Germanic tribes and considered "barbaric."
@@rocktheconqueror6903 nope, this was a thing in early Ancient Rome as well.
No, the man did not own his wife. After a year she (and her possessions) became part of his family instead of her own. There were exceptions of course, like "tutela" which is being under the guardianship of man, like a foster child.
Romans: Being blonde and having a big weewee is barbaric
Today's beauty standards: 🗿
We are still called ”stupid blondes grow a brain” ”blonde bimbo”
AI generated graphics depicting all Romans as shredded 😂
I mean, its probably not entirely false. Back then there was a lot of physical labor that had to be done as a daily part of life, also very little amounts of "junk" food. That being said, beinf fat was actually a beauty standard back then because it meant that:
1. You were rich and can afford top tier food, and a lot of it.
2. You didnt have to do a lot of physical labor, thus working off that weight.
Being fat > meant you were rich > thus a standard of beauty as a desirable trait. Sculpted men (at least of hogher standing) probably had reverance as soldiers in the army.
@@BurakkuHishou You can't work off gluttony (see lots of chubby labourers today). If you don't get enough good food to eat, you won't get that big, because you'll be burning off what you do eat.

@@agereartist3763 I prefer to treat women as objects actually. I'd rather they be a reflection of my value as a man. Life would get more complex if I viewed them as individual human beings with wants, needs, experiences, and opinions.

Am I right fellas?
Countries that once where part of the Roman Empire inherited his law, so in some places like Spain you can make your property something that is not yours, just by using It (for a really long time and not your wife). It is called Usucapion.
Yes in many countries they have squatters rights, if you live in an abandoned house and fix it up its yours
Same in Italy it's called usucapione
In Rome, all it took to dissolve the marriage was for the woman to say "I divorce you" 3 times.

"Impossible to tell a woman of class from a prostitute."
Hell, it ain't changed one bit

Nope. And still to this day, people have yet to fully get to know themselves or one another but complain that this isn’t the person they wanted to be or date.
Maybe date someone who took the time to get to know themself and you.
Only where you live, where all women are of the street.
Scary how many men ignore the fact that guys made a law that made it possible for men to OWN women and instead choose to be sexist over women's free will.
@Maria-he1db Fathers owned their children as well. The oldest male in the household was the pater familias, effectively a mini emporer, and essentially had absolute power, including life and death, over the members of the household. Later in the imperial period those rules were relaxed, but initially the patriach of the family was the families absolute ruler, the rest owned nothing, including themselves, everything belonged to him
I was about to say it's surprising that they knew how to dye their hair blonde, but we're talking about the people who made concrete capable of lasting for thousands of years
Modern concrete can be made as tough as well.
It is not some magic.
But we don’t because it is not cost-effective to do so. And not environmentally friendly either.
they also invented steam power.
The concrete has lime deposits that cause the water to turn into more concrete, thus filling in the cracks the water caused and healing itself.
I know right??
Caption: ancient laws that would make sense in 2023...😂😂😂
I never get tired of Roman History. Its a shame it wasn't allowed to exist another 1000 years.

"Honest Roman soil" what a paradox considering how Rome was built during their empire
“Start wearing your hair like a whore and everyone will think you’re one.” Lmao
Most people under age 50 dress like a prostitutes nowadays on a night out in city centre. Not confined only to females, also to mincing cross overs!
“Oh no now i cant choose wether to treat a woman like trash or with respect Purely based upon their looks! This is so horrible!”
You can respect a whore and not treat them like trash. you can even fall in love with one.
you can not respect a random free woman and treat them like trash. You can even grow to despise them.
Better treat them all like trash just to be safe. It's not like "noblewomen" are in any way better than prostitutes anyway.
I know, right?! 😒 things were so much simpler back then
Simp
It's funny that way too often fashion is pioneered by prostitutes
That explains why my strict Scottish Presbyterian grandmother hated "blonde hussies".
But you are blonde, right??
Oh, she'd hate my guts, then, because I'm naturally blonde.
There was a quite famous paricide case including Marius Tullius Cicero. Some dude's father was found dead and one of emperors pets (cannot remember his name), who had beef with him before he died, wanted to frame the son for it. A family friend, an a little older lady, who owed it to the sons father was ready to finance his defense, but she quickly lost hope as all the lawyers refused to defend him and she proceeded to ask him to plead guilty in hope that the punishments would be lowered. And that is when the still rather unknown Cicero comes in and accepts to defend the son. Although he could quickly show that it was more likely that the emperors pet was behind the fathers death, the case went from round to next round and so on every time it became uncomfortable for the pet and his lawyer. But eventually, if i remember right even by infiltrating the pet's villa, Cicero could gather enough evidence that it simply could not be dismissed any further, not even by the most currupt judges and the son won the case and got to inherit his father's stuff instead of the pet, which turned out to be his goal all along. I sadly don't remember what happened to that scumbag but this is still one amazing court case.
The fact that Popea Augusta Nero second wife dyed her hair blonde, tells you everything you need to knwo.
It tells us that most fashion, trends, styles, music, art and culture comes from those most exploited

Oh, and FYI ‘boomer’ is a derogatory term only used to insult, usually by ppl who wish to feel superiority when they don’t have any coherent or logical argument to put forth. I mean, why else would saying I am a boomer be relevant in any way other then a poor attempt at an ad hoc argument?

Aphrodite/Venera was a goddess with golden hair and the prostitutes were under her protection. The prostitution wasn't something bad at that time.
"it was impossible to tell apart between women of class and prostitutes" sounds awful familiar
Men wanting to own women, sounds familiar
It’s an interesting historical irony that it would be those same Germanic people of primarily fair hair - whose women were equated to little more than harlots by the Romans, who would ultimately resurrect and preserve the spirit of the late Western Roman Empire after its downfall.
This is where the term 3 day weekend originates

Those tacky graphics get me every time....
Is that where blonde stereotypes come from?
Vacations are important!
I believe in some areas prostitutes also had to wear men’s togas instead of the female ones. Because they were more revealing, and to once again separate them from the roman women. Most prostitutes in ancient rome were citizens that were kidnapped and sold into slavery and forced into prostitution. Their identity as a woman was erased because they were no longer a citizen. They were a product.
I'm all for this. Let's bring it back 😅
You get no women
A woman of a prominent family did not experience such things
As always with rich people: The rules aren’t really rules for them
Man:I own anything
Rome: you sure about that buddy 😂
I think this kinda shows the power women have over each other.
Women don't dress to impress their man(he's impressed regardless), we dress to impress other women. It's the feminine pecking order at work.
Just curious is it really power when ur giving up your rights as a Roman citizen In exchange to look like a slave that’s supposed to be used to me it sounds like the blonde slaves were getting the attention from the men and the women without blonde hair got jealous of it
I think it's more about the male gaze. If men view you as a sexual object over another female, the likelihood of jealousy increases
@@nicolen3797 Do you mean to say that women want to be objectified?

Na, their source is the famous 'trust me bro.'
I don't have sources at the ready but this stuff is all taken from ancient Roman writers here and there. The real problem is that it's easy to stereotype the past and these statements paint with a ridiculously broad brush. It's kind of like saying "Americans wear bluejeans and celebrate Christmas."
Unironically🤓
Time traveling to rome rn lemme just get my schematics for it.
Them Nordic locks just be too alluring, even for the women.

This is how the #blondeshavemorefun started😂
Even in antiquity blondes were a lot more common throughout the Italian peninsula than people might think
You can just tell how many men had their fragile masculine egos hurt by the fact that roman women dyed THEIR hair simply from the number of comments they're crying in. Honestly, the fact that they're more concerned about hair dye than men 'owning' their wives in those days says a lot 😂
