“A few things that people (fellas) seem to not understand about the bear vs man thing:
1. The scenario is, a woman is walking through the woods hiking alone.
Whilst hiking, would they rather come across a bear or a strange man?
The question is not:
Who would you rather get in a fight with?
It is not “A man you know vs a bear you don’t.”
They are not being asked to hug or provoke the bear or man.
They are just walking, in the woods, and come across either a bear or a random dude they do not know.
And most of the women in these comments, as well as the ones we have talked to, plenty of whom have gone hiking alone and who have come across both bears and men whilst doing so, choose the bear as a preference to run into.
Because the threat of the bear is a known quantity and thus a much more controllable one. A bear is more likely to just keep foraging and move on its way than outright attack you, unless under very specific circumstances.
The man is not a known quantity and whether he openly displays aggression or not, a woman cannot know for certain what his intentions are.”

“If you’re ever unsure of if you’re doing something stupid romantically, take a large photo of Grace Jones and tell her what you’re doing. Explain to Ms Jones that you’re sad because you’re being ghosted by a mid ugly bartender who doesn’t own a bed frame. Go ahead. Tell her. See how that feels.”
Great life advice from the brilliant and exquisite Kate Lister historian of “Betwixt the Sheets”

“I can tell a story and I try to tell my whole feelings--the touch, the smell, and feelings. All I’m afraid of now is being like a few other guys I know who took photographs. When they die, maybe the family comes in and sees all this work they can’t do anything with, and they just shove it into the garbage. I want people to see these photographs and say ‘this is something from my time.’”

I'm listening to a podcast episode about Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was married to a couple of kings and mother to more kings, and the podcast host just about slew me by saying:
"How many kings are in and out of this woman's vagina is quite impressive."
#betwixt the sheets#Kate Lister#I mean I was 1000% on board when I saw the episode topic#then 1000% more when I saw the guest historian#(Eleanor Janega my beloved)#this is just icing on the cake and honestly par for the course with these two

The first recorded perfumer is a woman named Tapputi who lived in Mesopotamia in the second century BC. A cuneiform tablet records that Tapputi made scented oils from flowers, calamus and aromatic spices.
A Curious History of Sex (Kate Lister)
And her work’s being reconstructed.

Popped up on mastodon. By someone called Grimm. I've seen dozens of references to the Bear. And now I know more. "Would you rather be stuck in a forest with a strange man or a strange bear?" Men attacked.
