Hi there.
If you've reached my profile from a discussion of sexualized or nude depictions of women in art, I highly recommend you give my essay 'An Argument Against the Female Nude' a read.
Link below.
This is a roman oil lamp depicting a rape scene between a roman citizen (male) and an enslaved prostitute (female). This can be inferred from her hairstyle, demeaning pose, and the fact that her eyes/gaze are below that of the male's, visually implying female inferiority
Moreover, this piece being an oil lamp implies it was in an interior domestic space and intended for the private pleasure of the male owner. This is essentially a roman version of having a hentai poster on your wall
Also, date wise, this is probably from 100BC-100AD. 2000 years ago, not 5000.
Also also, in roman society, being born with a phallus was seen as good luck and being born w/o one was seen as unlucky. Prostitution/brothels were the only way for women to earn money as well
Ok muted and i was wrong it is actually still legal to fire women for not wearing makeup in the US.
Women dont wear makeup for themselves, their female friends, art, or "personal expression." Women are pressured from BIRTH to conform to the beauty standard & YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE!!
