Actually just has dead, wrapped up Egyptians in his basement.

I know a decent amount of weird historical facts to know that the looted corpses are usually stored in the attic in Europe. There is also a non zero chance that if you live in an old enough house in Europe there could still be a corpse in the attic.

Welcome to the Aitre St Maclou in Rouen! The cemetery was full in the XVIth century, so they built a nice building to keep the old corpses on the upper floors, all windows opened to everything can be nicely ventilated. 200 years later, they turned it into a school.

That's actually kinda interesting, sorta the opposite of the Paris catacombs. Also shout-out to the bone churches.

If this wasn't posted by a right winger farming anti lgbt sentiment I'd probably cringe at the school being excited to parade the kid around for being accepting of lgbt people.

I hope Islam gets slept by JDM so I can laugh at people like this guy.

People don't want to talk about this, but lesbianism is common in polygamy.

Is the main objection to polygamy that having multiple sex partners is immoral or that the whole arrangement is subjugation of women (because usually it's multiple wives not husbands), or some other reason?

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 42 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Muslim men can have multiple wives (maximum 5 I believe) as long as they can provide for them. Muslim women are only allowed to have a single husband.

The joke is that the school thought that the kid’s family was super progressive meanwhile in reality it was super patriarchal

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (3 children)

A bit of both. The Greeks and Romans had a cultural taboo against polygamy which Christianity inherited, which means that Christians have historically been opposed to polygamy (which was not the case in Pre-christian northern Europe) on moral grounds. There is also the issue that historically polygamy has been associated with patriarchal societies in which men are allowed or expected to have multiple wives, but women are not allowed to do the same. Additionally, it is also culturally associated with treating women as property of the husband. Personally I don't have any issue with polygamy if everyone is free to do whatever but the way most cultures practice it, it's unfair to women. Then again, that could also he said of "traditional" marriage in a lot of monogamous scenarios too.

Find me just one example of a Muslim woman with two husbands.

[–] Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That wasn't the ask though? They were asking about polygamy in general...

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago (15 children)

It’s an easy one-sentence way to point out the inherent subjugation of women.

Probably depends on who you ask. I'm polyamorous and I think in almost all cases where someone says polygamy and not polyamory they're engaging in an immoral power dynamic. My experience being poly though I'd say most people take offense to the multiple partners thing and polygamy is just what they're familiar with as a concept

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's not the multiple partners that are a problem in my opinion (You do you. Polyamory is not for me, but no hate), it's the many-to-one relationships. Even in cases where an immoral power dynamic doesn't exist, you're still setting up for societal shenanigans if it's consistently many women to men, or vice versa, which seems prudent to avoid.

That being said, monogamy in a legal sense has probably only persisted so long because involving more than 2 people would be a massive headache for the courts lol

Probably only works in countries where one "partner" has more rights than others.
