We Are Reproducing A bit of mental math suggests that if grandma here is, say, 70 in 1990, she probably gave birth during the war or in the austere years soon after, so yeah. Next page is spoilered for the PoV character being told a “joke” about child abuse and (to give what I think is a deserved charitable reading considering her background), it being 1993, basically only being able to laugh it off.  Naturally, in the MangaDex comments, a couple people sprang to the defense of said “joke,” bemoaning how the modern internet had gotten so soft that people would be outraged by it.

Giant Ethicist posted:Very yikes, but yeah, the point of the strip is "can you believe men make jokes like this?" rather than "listen to this funny joke a guy told me," but (again, my interpretation) 1993 Japan meant she couldn't write a comic about just braining the guy, so her reaction can read as tacit approval to modern readers. Sidenote, I love how she draws her baby just flapping his arms and legs excitedly. It's so cute when babies do that!

Also her episiotomy investigations are funny... it really is kind of amazing slash horrifying once you realize humans are not exactly especially suited for giving birth. I heard once 9 months is basically the limit for when a human baby could be born, based on head size and pelvis size, because if you consider, well, babies used to be smaller when people had less nutrition, well, the people giving birth were smaller, too! It's no wonder childbirth can be so dangerous, especially before germ theory was understood, because before germ theory doctors could be doing their best to provide proper medical care to their patients but not understand why they had to sanitize between performing autopsies to help understand anatomy and how to help patients and delivering a baby. Like, it's not like they were walking in completely filthy between the two, but if you don't understand germs exist you're not going to understand why a good rinse with water you're pretty sure is clean isn't enough.

goatface posted:Maybe they want to officially tie it in but have no interest in dealing with the problematic nature of Ming. Just handwave all that stuff as having happened and build fresh stories in the postgame. Yeah, I think this is the actual reason why the new Flash Gordon is just skipping over the entire origin story. Which is a bit of a shame, since I've never actually seen it played out before. And probably never will.

Yeah, complete bipedalism and increased brain (and hence head) size really did a number on us. They're huge evolutionary advantages otherwise, but they hosed up childbirth very badly.

Technowolf posted:And even if they did wash, there's no guarantee the water they used would be clean. Really it is loving insane we survived as a species. I remember an old college intro to religion/mythology teacher once explaining a theory about why many early human societies were run by women. In short, if you jab a man, red liquid comes out and he sometimes dies. But women have red liquid come out every month, and they live! And other times lots of red liquid comes out, and a new person comes out too! It's loving insane! Clearly the women can die if red liquid comes out but not all the time. It really is a mystery. And then some assholes watched how hooved mammals bred and had young, and it was all downhill for women from there. Cowslips Warren fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Nov 1, 2023 |
