I'm not sure where I was "romanticizing the past" in my comment. Could you clarify exactly? Are you referring to the sentence I wrote "in most parts of the world 200 years ago, a woman being topless would not be sexualized but it is today"? But that is a factual observation right.
> Where? Not everywhere.
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask. It is very difficult to communicate with this kind of tone. I'm sure you can follow what I meant by "in most parts of the world 200 years ago, a woman being topless would not be sexualized but it is today." because we can see that in many parts of the world where old photos show the population being topless, now the majority of the population in those same parts are no longer accepting of that.
> before you generalize the Past as one monolithic place.
Reading my comment, I stand by my position that I never did that. I'm genuinely confused what you're trying to say.
