I suspect many men see plenty of ‘sex’ on their phones now.

Ugh, brings back a lot of memories.. I seem to be in control of matters without digging - but only by ignoring my inbox!

I wish we had Theopompus. I do wonder why we don’t.

Reminds of slow death of late Hallstatt. The first problems emerge at 550 BC, the ritualised end is 200 years later. As new social forms are merrily underway. Co-existing.

In the EIA, it seems (currently) that women are disproportionately joining the Austrian salt communities and the Greek-embracing Heuneburg in some numbers. And subsequently the new Heuneburg settlement is burned to the ground… (learning for us all)

That’s certainly my reading of the Hallstatt to La Téne transition in Europe - society quite literally splits in two due to political differences (who does and doesn’t like the Greeks). If not happy then leave and create or join existing more like-minded types. And perhaps gender often that spur.

Lots of this in either sex in different (Early) Iron Age groups. Seems then that if they weren’t keen on how things worked then they didn’t stay.
