      Yeah, but I like girls. Will they let me out if I like ugly girls? Or fat ones? C’mon, this isn’t fair. Gays get all the breaks.

      Historically speaking, this isnt wrong… Im not a historian, but I think its recorded that alexander the great and Julius Ceasar were known to bang dudes, but it wasnt considered gay back then because giving dick wasnt gay, only receiving was…

        There is something about Caesar being mocked for being on the receiving end when he went to Asia Minor early in his career. Although that was probably slander, it shows this was viewed as a negative.

        Throw in that athenian politician who has a name I never remember… One of the ‘charges’ against him was that he was acting as a bottom despite being older. The athenian pederasty had the older man taking a younger man as ‘appropriate,’ while the reverse was viewed as scandalous.

      Alternative explanation - the Turkish army is okay with gays as long as they are dominant.

      Which… strangely makes sense.

        I mean we’re not going to explain bottom shaming to the Turkish military but the bottom does not have to be sub. Dom bottom is absolutely a thing.
