> When you go see renaissance cultural stuff romanticizing the ancient romans and greeks do you crap all over it on the basis that the societies they're romanticizing had spicy takes on women or that their economies were comparatively primitive?

So, pointing out ethical failures accurately is "crapping all over it"?

> Are you going to complain that they didn't have running water and electricity in the old west while you're at it?

I'm going to suggest that objecting to enslavement, and objecting to having a well with a bucket, are not anywhere on the same spectrum.

You seem to be arguing from a truly dishonest, and fundamentally immoral, basis.
