      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.

        Iirc, at least the Romans wrote rhymes insulting people who were especially career bottoms, but yeah I don’t know what they did as they got older.

          Like I said; I’m working from half remembered history of Greece, whose culture Rome’s was a shitty port of, but I wouldn’t put it past the romans to add hierarchal shittiness.
