"cleopatra faced oppression" the fuck she did oh my god i hate y'all so much
#personal#i thought we couldn't get any stupider than 'cleopatra was culturally black' because like....no#because a) someone's idea of 'culturally black' varies from country to country#and b) what an american for instance would consider 'culturally black' is based on idea that's at max a hundred years old#but no cleopatra the literal queen descended from an incestuous colonizer dynasty ruling one of the richest countries on the mediterranean#did not 'face oppression' where was she facing oppression she OWNED SLAVES#the closest that woman ever came to facing oppression was like maybe the last week of her life when octavian was in alexandria#but even then not really???#and they're so clearly not talking about any gender discrimination that she dealt with because this whole thing#is a defense of that stupid 'no cleopatra was black actually we promise'#god i'm getting anti cleopatra pilled by ahistorical bullshit i'm gonna end up hating her before the year is out at this point#also can we please focus on like any other egyptian queens ever#why's it always cleopatra's macedonian ass in the spotlight egypt has thousands of years of history#and a good chunk of those thousands of years did actually have female primary rulers#who were ethnically egyptian to boot#like goddamn there's more to egypt than just the cleopatra show and a lot of it is much more interesting
