Ancient Rome was home to the first women's rights protest march in 195BC, to force the Senate to revoke a wartime law (lex Oppia) that persisted 20 years after the war it was made for (& the rest of the wartime laws abolished), restricting how much gold a woman could wear as jewelry. Woman marched to Rome from towns and hamlets to the city, proving it wasn't just an issue for women of economic means.

Cato (yes, that Cato) was railing against the protest in the Senate, saying if they removed the law that husbands would forever lose control over their wives....if only, eh?

”Men think about the Roman Empire” “What’s the female version of the Roman Empire” SHUT UPPPPP. SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPP. AS A WOMAN I LOVE THE ROMAN EMPIRE. AS A WOMAN I LOVE ANCIENT HISTORY AND BATTLES AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY. THE “GIRL VERSION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE” IS THE ROMAN EMPIRE. IM GOING TO STAB YOU 23 TIMES

My mother is still a little pissed that on our trip to Pompeii I ended up playing with a puppy instead of photographing the Villa of Mysteries.

christianity is basically the OG leftist movement that got co-opted. rome converting to christianity was like if unions got super popular and amazon did an advertising campaign praising unions but changed none of their policies. like this weird “western civilization-christian values” stuff is just roman values. which was exactly what christianity was rebelling against.
