    This is the man who helped me get my degree as I did a paper on his work about the panopticon, never knew he invented underwear or was like this at all, should have specified all of this in the paper as well.

    • @roguishpaladin
      @roguishpaladin Год назад

      He didn't invent underwear. Loincloths date from ancient times, and the moment you drape a tunic over a loincloth it's underwear. In medieval times, men were known to wear an undergarment called braies, onto which they would tie their chausses (essential long stockings) and wear a tunic over it. Eventually you have a period where the braies and chausses get combined into one garment worn alone, which we might recognize as hose or breeches. Simultaneously, tunic hems rise so that the hose ends up fully exposed for fashionable individuals during the Renaissance.
