After that, she was no longer married to the dude, and could take all of the property she brought to the marriage and leave, usually to return to her parent’s home, but often also to marry some other guy. They also had divorce, which involved the woman getting together her posse and declaring that she divorced her husband three times - first at the entry to her property, second at the door of her house, and finally at the foot of her marriage bed. (Viking is actually a verb, the act of going on raid.) There’s a lot of evidence of women being super hardcore warriors, either protecting the homestead while the men went viking, or even going viking themselves. The Vikings are actually very similar to this! And while Leonidas was away in battle she did rule Sparta on her own.

This part of the movie was true King Leonidas really did kill a man because he insulted his wife and he always ensured that he had his wife’s approval. To have male offspring was good luck, to have female offspring was an honour. And they were tough in Sparta but also all about family.

Plus the women could marry whomever they pleased and the men weren’t allowed to live with the women in their house until she said so. It was only the men who were sent into the wilderness for an extra two years to ensure their strength for battle.

As children they were equals they were not allowed to wear clothing until a certain age and at that point they were sent away to a training camp until they were 18. ^^ I throughly enjoyed the history lesson dashed with the colorful adjectives.Īnd the women were trained the exact same way as men were. THIS DUDE HAD FUCKIN’ BETTER MAKE SURE SHE’S COOL WITH WHATEVER HE’S DOING, IF HE KNOWS WHAT’S FUCKIN’ GOOD FOR HIM. THE SPARTANS COMPARED CHILDBIRTH TO FUCKING BATTLE AND IT WAS VIEWED AS A GODDAMN BADASS AND HONORABLE WAY TO GO OUT.įUCKING SPARTAN WOMEN. And women? Women only got their names on their graves if they died in childbirth. HOLY SHIT.Īlso, In Sparta men only got their names on their graves if they died in battle. According to some accounts, their thighs were visible at all times. And because they were expected to be as physically fit as the Spartan menfolk (who all had to serve compulsory military duties, btw, and couldn’t marry until they finished them at thirty) they didn’t have time for lots of swishy dresses. Spartan women participated in some fuckin’ badass sporting events, too. And it didn’t make her a pariah! She could totally remarry, no big deal at all. Why? Because that was RARE AS FUCK and there are lots of places TODAY where women don’t even get that much.ĭivorce was totally fine, and a woman could expect to keep her own wealth and get custody of the kids because paternal lineage wasn’t very important. In Sparta, women could own land and were considered citizens. LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT SPARTAN WOMEN FOR A SECOND. That weapon was for CUTTING THEIR HUSBANDS’ FUCKING FACES so that when he went out in public everyone would know he was an asshole, abusing jerkface and they would publicly shame him. Spartan women were given these small knives so that if their husbands came home and tried to hit them or assault them, they had a weapon within reach. Sparta was so kick ASS sometimes when it came to women. This would be entertaining though.Įnd rant, hopefully, someone gets a kick out of this.He looks back at the guy like, “SEE THAT? SHE SAID YES.
#Tumbleweed gif mccree ult series
Obviously, McCree’s ult can’t be a global engagement stun that creates a realm of “the Duel” where the playing field is evened out and the enemy has to do a series of buttons to get out of the duel alive LOL.

This is how McCree ult feels to me, I press Q and functional players laugh over my dead body screaming, “you should have shot me, but you were too busy talking.”Īnyways, it feels bad to have a 20% chance you get a brain dead team who all die and a 20% chance to get nothing (but at least zone), and a 60% chance you die before you finish the line, “it’s high noon.” Don’t get me wrong other DPS ults have the same percents, but most of them do damage even if they “get nothing”.īUT, if McCree’s ult is supposed to be this grand duel on Main Street, then it’s still wrong because in that duel both/all parties stand there doing nothing in anticipation of getting the perfect shot. “When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk.” There is a great movie quote from one of the greatest Westerns, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” where “The Ugly” is about to get shot, and his pursuer goes on a revenge rant, so “The Ugly” shoots him and quickly says, I love McCree, but for a cowboy, his ult is not an exciting duel on Main Street, it’s a death sentence.
