Просмотров 18214 дней назад

    The wedge driven between ireland and scotland all those years ago and its ongoing repercussions... A masterstroke by the people in power. A new day is dawning for these islands just now. The Gael has survived but will he continue into the future?.

    I don't understand what Alexandra Sandmark is so confused about. If ♀️s are so capable, and we shouldn't be discounting them, then why do they require gendered sports leagues to be competitive And as one who's worked many farms from -35° C windchills to 60° C heat index, walking 14 miles/day and being hired to do the work the toughest and strongest females can't do, Im going to speculate that the ♀️s in Viking times (especially as they were smaller than humans today) were not any more effective and useful for farming and hard physical labor than they are today. However, I'm sure they were (likely) less neurotic
