Just got a 6 and half minute phone call from the man I’ve been seeing for a month saying that recently (the last week) he’s realised that he confused our physical chemistry for a real connection. The distance (I’ve been home for a week) has made him realise that we weren’t suited (I haven’t had sex with him in ten days)

So yes, tonight I hate men

Because tonight I was told a man wanted my body but not me

Have you watched Much Ado About Nothing? You’d like it, I think. The Eve one is good.

I watched the Tennant and Tate production in college and remember liking it. I don't actually think I've read it or seen a production otherwise, which is odd (personal apologies to Kenneth Branagh).

But I'm already three steps ahead of you... my DVD of 'the Eve one' just came in the mail on Wednesday 😏

DING DONG! LET'S GOOOOO

[this-night-is-sparkling-89]

Yesss!

Honestly the last few months I’ve felt like a Much Ado evangelist, knocking on people doors “Can I tell you about the best Shakespeare play?”

The Kingston/Branagh Macbeth is still the best production I’ve seen of that play. The set! The older woman!

I always want to write when my diary is 250 miles away and never when it’s beside me. And god doesn’t that sum me up.

mildly bitter about the master saying "i hate your piece of shit dad" to kate to taunt her instead of the inherently funnier not to mention far more traumatising "i fucked your dad"

[lesbianirl]

the oldest profession was probably actually babysitting. like "i have to go do something, can you watch my baby for a while?" has to be one of the most ancient requests ever. animals do this. why wouldn't people living in caves and inventing fire not also take advantage of someone else watching their baby while they go and kill an antelope or something for the tribe to eat

[cyberiya]

Correct me if im wrong but isnt the oldest profession literally midwifery??

[this-night-is-sparkling-89]

There’s some evidence that it might have been prostitution. Necessity breeds trade.

[cyberiya]

I dont really consider prostitution a profession. Regardless, there is a greater necessity to ensure women are healthy and safe during pregnancy isn’t there? Its more important than men blowing their loads even in a patriarchal society

[this-night-is-sparkling-89]

It puts food on the table and money in your pocket so ergo I would consider it a profession.

[cyberiya]

Is that the only criteria for profession? Does that include drug dealing, money laundering, being a hitman lol, or idk begging for money? All of those things also put food on the table and money in the pocket, right?

[this-night-is-sparkling-89]

I would say yes. Morality isn’t a condition on whether something is a profession. Perhaps not begging for money, since that requires no training but one could argue that if you gained experience you could become an accomplished and professional begger.

But going back to the matter at hand. There’s no sense in denying prostitution is one of the oldest, perhaps the oldest, professions in the world. Sex makes the world go round at the end of the day and trading in it can ensure survival and even prosperity.

[cyberiya]

Exactly, it ensures survival in a very direct way. Which is why i wouldn’t call it a profession. The majority of prostitutes are poor, like drug dealers and beggars. Its why they resort to these jobs. Jobs that are generally very dangerous and psychologically/emotionally harmful. The reason they do it is because they are forced to, if they do not, they will starve and most likely die.

It isnt really abt morality. The same way i wouldnt consider working at mcdonalds or working in retail (minimum wage worker) a profession really.

However, there is something to connect here on regards to prostitution being exploitation of financially destitute and vulnerable women rather than a fully fledged profession free of coercion.

In my opinion a profession is something within an established field of work, which can place you on a career path that you can build a future upon, and you will make more money the longer you are in that field. A stable income.

Drug dealing and prostitution and other jobs like this do not fit under that. It’s important that we make this distinction actually to understand that the root cause of this is poverty.

Finally, even if you do consider prostitution a profession, it still probably wouldn’t be the oldest. Midwifery is more important and more recognized, as far as i can recall.

[this-night-is-sparkling-89]

I mean yes prostitution has a long and well documented relationship with exploitation but that doesn’t take away from the fact it may be the oldest profession. Your personal views on morality don’t change a long held historical view.

The first record of prostitution is in 2500 BCE; at least 1500 years before the first record of midwifery in 1900 to 1550 BCE.

Midwifery and probably prostitution have alway existed in close proximity since historically women we would consider ‘midwives’ worked closely with women in all manner of personal care. Most importantly to female prostitutes their work include abortions and methods of contraception. When it came to birthing most women birthed with the help of female relatives or local medical women. Employing a midwife was probably not as common as having unpaid assistance.

Prostitution was also probably regulated before midwifery.
