Ordinary people are all well and good, as 99.99% of us are them, but at days end what inspires people about Rome is not usually the ordinary people. It’s the larger than life ones, and those are still predominantly skewed toward men in our teachings, and dare I also say in our media.</p><p><br /></p><p>Throwing an edit on here to say- I am aware this post could come across as mansplaining but I hope it is not perceived that way as that is not at all my intent! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
