Most Disturbing Sexual Practices in History From Egypt to the Middle Ages, the cultural tradition surprises with customs that today are strange and difficult to understand  Society classifies sexual practices and tendencies as “normal” or “deviant”, based on cultural criteria that change over time. Good proof of this is reviewing the bedroom customs of Rome or Ancient Egypt, and observing how disturbing and unacceptable many of them are. Disturbing ancient Egypt The pharaohs allowed marriage between brothers and, in some cases, also between father and daughter, in order to preserve the purity of the lineage. Incest was allowed between monarchs and circumcision, a practice later adopted by the Jews, had a ritual character in the initiation ceremony of adolescence. The Egyptians had a more pragmatic than unrestrained view of sex. Perhaps for this reason rapists, that is, those who acted like animals without being able to contain their base passions, were reserved for a penalty as dra...

Rape And Abuse of Japanese Women By American Soldiers During WW2 It is difficult if not impossible for historians to overturn popular myths. Myths are popular because they represent stories we want to hear; they feed into the collective psyche. Anzacs behaving badly is not something we want to acknowledge. The “summary executions” tweet (below) made by McIntyre is a case in point. Most people are familiar with the Japanese treatment of Allied POWs, but Australian soldiers killed Japanese prisoners in Papua, including on at least one occasion wounded Japanese soldiers in hospital. Take the 1943 diary entry of Eddie Stanton, an Australian posted to Goodenough Island off Papua New Guinea. “Japanese are still being shot all over the place,” he wrote. “The necessity for capturing them has ceased to worry anyone. From now on, Nippo survivors are just so much machine-gun practice. Too many of our soldiers are tied up guarding them.” This was tit-for-tat killing. Anzac and American troops syst...

Evil Meets Power, 1996 A black woman salutes a KKK member with a closed fist, which is a symbol of black resistance against racism and oppression. The KKK member salutes her with an open hand, a symbol that goes back to fascist Germany, which represents hatred towards anyone who is not white. The man in the picture is Thomas Robb. Robb is a hardline white supremacist and has been in control of the KKK since 1989. He is also a Christian pastor. Robb has been the admin for racist websites and forums, and even wrote a lengthy article in 2016, in the racist newspaper "The Crusader" in which he heavily endorsed Donald Trump and showed his support for Trump's run for presidency. The Trump administration denounced the article. This woman is the definition of defiance. Photographer: David Crenshaw TO WATCH THE VIDEO AND TO SEE MORE PHOTOS OF THIS ARTICLE CLICK HERE .
