You've never studied much about ancient history, isn't it? The ancient Greeks never said "child and slaves should be fuck toys". Watch less movies and study real history.

I don't claim to be an expert on ancient Greece, but that is my understanding of the factual history. The influence of pederasty on Greek culture of these periods was so prevalent that it has been called "the principal cultural model for free relationships between citizens." That article goes into detail on the slaves as well, at one point mentioning it was less socially acceptable.

Ah wow, a Wikipedia source! I guess my 5 fuckin' years of studying the actual ancient classics are now useless in front of it! After all, we all know a Wiki article anybody can edit is far more reliable than spending years reading the actual source material.

I'm open to better sources, but "just trust me bro, I have a liberal arts degree" is honestly less compelling to me than a Wikipedia entry.

Wikipedia isn't great, it's just convienient.

My degree is true, however. Which by the way, is not something I learnt in university. It's just basic -high school- knowledge. Back in my days, we used to study this stuff in my country. Then they started to say the classics are not important, and look where that is bringing us.

But hey, if you trust Wikipedia more, then lol. Be my guest and believe the magical world of slaves and fuck toys. You saw too many tv series.
