More about how households in #AncientGreece were strictly #gendered spaces.
#Gendered
While home spaces were not as gendered as those in #AncientGreece, this article talks about how spaces in Rome were also somewhat gendered -- and in his attack against #Clodia, #Cicero used Clodia's defiance of those norms against her!
#Scandalisation, #gender and space in #AncientRome: The case of #Cicero and #Clodia
by Muriel Moser
First published: 17 June 2024
"Ciceros thus uses different notions of space for his argument. First, by drawing up a moral landscape of her shameful deeds, Cicero seeks to emphasise the magnitude of her guilt [as an adulteress and murderer of her husband]. Second, built spaces are important for Cicero's argument because they allow him to ‘reveal’ Clodia's private acts, that is, acts that occurred in private spaces, to his male audience in a public space in a dramatic way, thus offering entertainment and creating outrage. Finally, Cicero is able to present her acts as shameful and problematic by blurring built spaces with gendered social spaces.
"This last aspect of his use of space is particularly complex and perfidious and made possible not least by the fluidity of the spatial concepts at work in a #domus and other ‘private’ places, such as gardens and provincial villas. Take the Roman domus: Cicero could use several levels of meaning in this term. A Roman domus was a physical location with a strong symbolic value. It was considered to be the seat of a family, to the point that the term could be equated with the family itself. And, as the family stood at the heart of the Roman moral order, the domus also had a strong #moral connotation The Roman house was, further, a political and hence a public site: it was used to conduct political business, to make connections and to present the public image of the house's owner. It is likely that Clodia received her guests in the atrium, the centre of the public part of the domus, or in an adjacent room (cubiculum) more suitable for private business, but it is difficult to map these roles onto specific areas within the Roman domus. Roman houses were not divided into a ‘public’ and a ‘non-public’ area: some areas were clearly intended for interaction with people outside the household, such as members of the public, guests or supplicants, while other parts were reserved for the life of the family and the business of the household, but there was no clear dichotomy, the separation of these spaces being fluid, with gradations of privacy.
"It is this fluidity that allows Cicero uses spatial references to make Clodia scandalous. For it allows him blur the division between built spaces used by women and conceptual or social spaces, notably politics, that were reserved for men. In this way, Cicero is able to construct Clodia's social events as #transgressions into #MaleSocialSpace. How is this achieved? Having ascribed each of her acts to a specific space as noted above, he turned events that (if they happened at all) would otherwise have been accessible to at most a few people – the goings-on inside Clodia's house (domus) in Rome, in her private garden by the Tiber or at her country house at Baiae – into the public object of the trial of Caelius. In so doing, Cicero accused her of having used these built spaces in a manner that had infringed on social spaces that were unsuitable for respectful women, because they were, so he insinuated, reserved for men. It is the infringement of these #gendered social spaces that constitute her worst transgression according to Cicero."

"#AntiSemitism does not fall within the category of ideas protected by the right of free opinion… It is something quite other than an idea. It is first of all a passion”, wrote the French philosopher #JeanPaulSartre in his 1946 book Reflections on the #Jewish Question.
#Jews who have been dealing with antisemitism over the last two years can sense what #Sartre meant: the hatred towards us is beyond logic; it is reflexive. When the teenage daughter of a friend of mine was slapped on the London Tube by a man just because he saw her #StarofDavid peeking out from her jumper, it was an act of reflexive hate. But it wasn’t only antisemitism – it carried another thin layer of #gender-based hatred.
In his book, Sartre also uniquely sensed this #gendered and# sexualised #hate towards Jewish #women."
Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 109: Food Waste
Repurposing leftover Hallowe’en candy as farm animal fodder? It may sound wild, but as you’ll hear in this #podcast, it’s just one odd recommendation within the complex hierarchies of dealing with food waste…
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2296101/
This episode tackles food waste, an issue as old as #domestication. Food scholar Tammara Soma shares perspectives from “Critical food guidance for tackling food waste in Canada” (Vol. 9 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies), and PhD student Dante Gbejewoh offers his response to the piece, encouraging listeners to leverage the article’s diagram about #closed-loop #foodsystems. Alexia Moyer sneaks us back to a long-titled #historical #cookbook on household management, including its implications for #gendered labour.

Well, I'm shopping once again and I can't help myself, I found Dark Chocolate #Perfume, I also learned that perfume isn't actually specifically for #women, the only difference between perfume and #cologne is just the consentrationof the actual ingredients, but its not actually #gendered in the slightest, so I may be getting Dark Chocolate perfume to pair with my Sakura body cream and my technically coffee-scented cream that I use to smoothen the skin of my butt, thighs, and hips, very exciting for sure. I don't know, but I think I'm starting to see why it is women love shopping so much.
it’s the most dangerous place for #women shaped by patriarchal norms, impunity & systemic failure !!
This is not random it’s #gendered. These #murders speak to #PowerImbalances harmful stereotypes & the fatal consequences of societal acceptance of #violence.
A death every 10 minutes… this can’t be just a statistic; each #victim had a story, a future, a life cruelly cut short.

Some have probably figured it out. In #Japanese, a Kimono is a traditional garment worn by women. Now, C/K and G can blend into a gutteral sound in spanish, so it's not uncommon to have words that start with a C/K sound like it's a G. Example, "cabron" is pronounced more like "gah-vrone" than "caah-bro-n". So "Kimono" became "Gimono." In #Spanish, words ending in 'o' are masculine, indicating it's for a boy. This obviously isn't a thing in Japanese, japanese isn't a #gendered language like that.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.)
A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications.
HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others.
(Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences.
HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant.
Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes.
Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body?
Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records.
Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please!

from the vid: gender affirming care is suicide prevention. It's also preventative care against diseases of despair.

who are cis people? What is a cis man? What makes a man cis? What makes a man trans?
(in case anyone wants to misrepresent any of this video or my posting of it -- no one is or should be disposable. Even if you don't like them.
I might say otherwise in my own personal experiences with a handful of people who have behaved unconscionably towrd me, but that's neither my ideal nor what I think would bring a better world.
Even less so on demographic grounds. Like, I understand if Person A abuses you, yeah you will be experiencing a range of emotions -- or shutdown, or cycle through them. But that's individual, not systemic. anyway.)
Obvious one we should all be able to agree on tho: posturing based on attacking others is not "real" gender. It's just insecurity getting defensive at other people.

My favorite non-#gendered greetings in professional / customer service settings include:
- Honey (as in “what can I get you honey?”)
- Sweetie (as in “will that be all for you, sweetie?”
- Baby (as in, “all right, baby, that’ll be just a few minutes”)
Excited about the upcoming G-Versity conference in Bern! My talk on #Gendered #Educational Choices is based on my work for RE-WIRING and will be part of the Pathways to Parity Symposium with Jenny Veldman, Onur Şahin, Kate Block, and Esmée Schregardus. Let me know if want to have a chat in Bern!
