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.

Were Lakota Women Slaves to their Husbands? – Sex on the Great Plains
19th-century writers called Lakota women virtually enslaved to their husbands, but were they? Or were they skilled artisans, valued by the community, and empowered within their marriages? It turns out the working woman of the modern West owes much to the skilled craftswoman of the Great Plains.
