    What a lovely website. Welcoming colors, simple navigation, no ad infestation. Has all the early internet charm but without the hyperbole.

    Well, child mortality rate was really high before modern medicine. No wonder many cultures exalt the process of birth.

      Maternal mortality wasn’t quite a Holocaust until they started having women give birth in hospitals without germ theory so nobody was washing their fucking hands and the doctors were reaching up there to check on the placenta and killing loads of women with puerperal sepsis. 18 percent maternal mortality rate at the time, when 300 years in the past (based on church records of births and deaths) it was closer to 3 percent.

        Still true that birth is more dangerous in humans.

        It means that have opinions or ideals that are just that good and worth looking up to.

        So basically what “Woke” used to mean before it became a Right Wing buzzword

          Not in this context. The usage of “based” as a positive generic adjective comes from Lil B “the BasedGod” and has nothing to do with whatever you’re saying.

    Didn’t Sparta have a similar belief as far as honoring women who died in childbirth equally to men who died in battle?

    Similar thing actually happened in early Islaam, except it was for deaths from epidemic instead of childbirth. That one being because a shitton of Mohammed’s original faithful had died of plague during the initial campaigns of the faith.

        Thank you for doing so! I’ve been reading about Mesoamerican history lately and love additional facts.

        It’s amazing how cultures separated by 10,000+ years can be so incredibly similar in general, yet distinct in the fine details!

        I can only suggest actually looking at the titles you post, then, since most of them get cropped off due to character limit. Seems a bit automated given how frequently I’ve seen it happen to your posts in particular.
