          I know, that’s not what I said though. I said the Romans did discriminate, against bottoms.

            Yeah but it was more of a condition than a social wedge issue. Hierarchal toxic masculinity shit, not so much class persecution, and didn’t in a lot of cases (I might be remembering a Greek thing, so easy to mix them up when roman culture is mostly a shitty port of Greek culture) topping/bottoming get based on age? Or did that not carry over?

                    As in I’m saying ancient Greeks discriminated saw the act as demeaning/lesser, but did not, I don’t think, see it as an identity, abd what role one performed was based on status/age/whatever.

                    One was not a bottom (though perhaps was x’s bottom), but did bottoming.
