We explode gender norms by exploring their incredible variety across time. For example, did you know the Nazis encouraged young girls to bear a child out of wedlock for the Fatherland? Or that pre-contact Hawaii had no such thing as marriage? Or that ancient Romans had no concept of orientation, only a vague sense of “preference” for one sex or the other? That’s the kind of stuff we’ll be covering in this show. We explore the entire spectrum, from male to female and everything in-between, and from straight to gloriously twisted.

The Myth of the Manly Cowboy – Sex in the Wild West
At the heart of American masculinity lies the cowboy, a loner heartthrob who pulls himself up by his own bootstraps, rides off into the sunset, and don't need no help from nobody.
Except he wasn't. Actual historical cowboys were nothing like that. So what were they really like?
