This particular trend started with a girl in Sweden though, who had only, up until pretty recently, been dating other girls. She wanted to try dating guys and asked her followers on TikTok: "What does men think about?" in an attempt to capture the core of the male mind. She saw that some guys replied "the Roman empire" (maybe as a reference to Gilmore Girls, who knows) and then posted the question "How often do men think about the Roman empire?" and then it just spread like wildfire. This happened way before that tweet that has been credited to be the source of it all.
religion, roads, sewers, arches, republics, civil war, regiments, imperialism, bread & circus, economic collapse... if you've never thought about the roman empire, you're not thinking enough.
I think about the Roman empire a lot
Why is it weird to think about the Roman Empire? I mean if you are American or stuck living in a country right next to or directly influenced by it; it's the modern-day equivalent, even down to the trends that grip the masses at the end of Rome's reign.
It's not weird at all, but women do not think in civilizational terms, so this seems strange to them.
The fact that we have to explain why this happens is even more shocking. If you were looking for a reason why some people say women shouldn't be allowed to vote, you've found one. Someone whose cognition is so limited that they don't get the significance of the Roman Empire should not be allowed to participate in making political decisions.
Well as a Christian Man....I think about the Roman Empire a lot since it was in power during the entire New Testament.
💜
The Roman Empire was so powerful and full of wealth, power and prestige they dismissed Jesus's message and the new testament had to be written. Just my theory and reconnecting dots. Regardless my personal roman empire collapsed right before 9/11.
I think about the Holy Roman Empire 😂
Deus vult 😂
Stereotype: "All men think about is sex!"
Reality: "All men think about is _The Roman Empire..._ and also sex."
I still don't get it.
Women know not the minds of men
As a Christian It's hard to not think about the Roman Empire since Jesus died on the cross during Roman's reign in Jerusalem
It's kind of like how you have boys that go through a "dinosaur phase" and girls that go through a pony/horse phase. Teenage boys also have a phase we don't talk about a lot that I call the "I should be running this shit" phase. It's a short lived phase, commonly ending after a hormonal tearfilled attempt at fighting your own dad, but a little bit of the conquerors spirit lives on and shows up here and there. Luckily it mostly just manifests through interest in military history, video games, sports, movies, and history. So Roman history hooks us pretty easily.
Women have only been full fledged participants in the civics of society for about a century now. The fact that they’re just now catching up to the Roman Empire speaks to their limited contributions to the advancement of Western civilization.
Marie Curie would slap you
@@DigitalWolverine Just to play devil’s advocate, Curie was only about a century ago.
Remove the word "only" from your comment and it makes more sense.
As a guy, it is 100% legit. Although, it never really occurred to me as being an odd thing until the whole TikTok query happened and girls were all ‘WTF’?! And funny enough, I ran across your video because I’m (guiltily) a Gilmore Girls fan and I vaguely remembered him mentioning this Roman anthology so tried looking it up here. Being a voracious reader myself, I’ve always liked Richard and Rory’s love of reading and his taste in literature. His comment about Samuel Beckett in S6: E5 cracks me up. It’s how I am when interrupted while being engrossed in a good book…oftentimes about the Roman Empire!!!
Men think about abstract concepts of history and nature all the time. I'm surprised that women are surprised. Did you really believe we were so shallow and think only of sex?
Men are GENERALLY, NOT ALL MEN but most men are generally interested in THINGS.
Women more into people. Which explains men like action movies over romcoms.
SURE THERE ARE SOME WOMEN WHO BEHAVE LIKE MEN! let me just make that clear before I get the dumb replies.
So ROME, is everywhere when you notice THINGS! for example:
Coined money,
The Planets are named after the roman name of greek gods.
Roads, Bridges, Aqueducts, bathhouses, plumbing, sanitation
The calendar, Bound Books, concrete, Welfare systems, The concept of newspapers
You'll notice not once did I even mention anything about their military.
So yea, Rome is EVERYWHERE and many things we take for granted are a natural progression that start from rome.
The romans, The egyptians, The Chinese, The greeks, The Japanese, The Norse, The Mayans are pretty much all the first stages of modern civilizations after the stone age and into the bronze age.
I personally think about Athens way more often...
Which was part of the Roman Empire.
Only when they conquered it around 200 years after the Peloponesian War. Athens lore is absolutely fascinating since that’s where most of the Ancient Greek sources of Ancient Greece come from.
My dog, 'Otis' gets meat tax off our plates. One day I was munching on a steak when he stands up and leans on my leg. Without thinking I said "Et tu Otis?" 🤣
Can confirm I think about the People of Iron way too much
it never fell it lives on in our hearts
I am a man and I believe in a guys head the Roman Empire stands for absolute might and lust. But mainly because u see it in all the media all the time.
Lol how do you not think about the Roman Empire? And how did it take women hundreds of years to figure this out? This has been a thing for basically 2000 years
I do think about the Roman Empire a lot. Its now called The Roman Catholic Church.
So what do women think about?
NOT the Roman empire???😐
I mean, it’s like the most prominent empire in western history since antiquity and guys like to think about history so….
some people have intellectual lives and spend time actually pondering things, you know?
I don't get this trend till now can anyone please explain me what does that trend mean? Like for real I only understood some points that are soo senseless. They say you are my Roman Empire means that they think about you all of the time because men think about Roman Empire that is related to conquering the empire or such like that... I'm sooo confused 🙃
Very late reply, but to explain, it's not so much of a trend, it's just that Rome is the foundation of modern society for most of the world (including places like India; pretty much all countries have a legal foundation based on Roman Law, unless it's specifically a Middle Eastern country that uses Islamic Law like say the Taliban in Afghanistan). Our modern conceptions of justice, law and etc all come from Greece and Rome. So anyone who thinks about history or culture for a little bit can't help it. If you think of any random thing you believe in, such as say why women wear their wedding ring on the fourth finger of your left hand, you are partaking in an ancient Roman custom (they believed that the vein in that particular finger lead straight to the heart, and called it the Vena Amoris, or Vein of Love). Everything we don't think about, like the names of the days of the week, months, it all has a Roman origin.
Add to the fact that knowledge of Greco-Roman history has always been a marker for the upper classes (since Roman times), and you'll see those very same ideas filter down to the general population via popular media such as movies, songs and etc.
For an equivalent for women, think about how often you think of Jane Austin's works, the Regency era and that sort of thing. It's just something that sticks in the mind because it's where a lot of literature aimed at women drew inspiration from. But because literature was generally aimed at men until recently, only educated upper class women were exposed to these ideas, until modern times somewhat levelled the playing field.
its not a trend its just people who have always been ignorant of history that are now able to film themselves being ignorant of history.
I think about the Soviet Union and the Roman Empire multiple times a day. The teachings of Yuri Bezmenov, Epictetus, Marcus Arelious ect have had a huge impact on my life. They helped guide me away from our disgusting culture of drug abuse and narcissism. I have virtually no social media presence and I have very little attraction to American women due to them voting us in to slavery, abject poverty and crime.
In fact I would go so far as stating that they shouldn’t be aloud to vote.
"Voting us into slavery" can you explain this point to me?
And what makes you think you should have the right to vote over them?
Woman only have the ability to vote, because men allow them to. This has been covered at length by many people now, and it isn't hard to see that men have a monopoly on force.
Due to that monopoly, that is why.
what a useless thing to be obsessed with!
