politics about women and sexuality today are pretty bad but i’d just like to inform y’all that in cicero’s epistulae ad familiares 9.22 he mentions that the senate was scandalized when a high-rank senator said the phrase ‘illam dicam’ which sounds similar to ‘landica,’ the latin word for clitoris, and cicero himself won’t even use the word in that letter even tho he mentions other obscene words in it. like if you tried to make these lil assholes from 2100 years ago say the word ‘clitoris’ they’d actually have a nervous breakdown so just so you know very little has changed on that front
