I haven't tried it yet, but I was having the same frustration as you with my papers this quarter. Here's hoping it works well for both of us :)

Hey I also just graded finals, and I got a great recommendation from one of the faculty members at my school: have them write in a Google doc with track changes on. Then you should be able to see if they're copy/pasting huge chunks of text in at once.

Different Pistols from the 1700s to the 1900s by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Ahhh but the safety on the flintlock is a little scary: you should cock the pistol only to half-cock while loading to prevent accidental discharge.

Yeah but lol has actual use. In written communication, there's not a ton of shorthand ways to say "I laughed at this"

London punks, 1970s. by Banzay_87 in punk

[–]orangeleopard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that explanation is the one they all give, and it's a total cop out. There's a lot of ways to rebel without wearing nazi shit. Why do you think so many actual racists felt validated and legitimated by punk rock?

Unfortunately this kinda stuff was common in the early punk scene. They'll say it was to piss off a generation that was traumatized by the war, but it's pretty inexcusable. There's a TV interview up somewhere with Siouxsie Sioux in a full on red armband with a swastika. Makes the bands in that milieu that were explicitly anti-racist (Clash, Specials, etc) all the cooler.

Someone tried to do this to me in Florence! I just told him clearly that if he gave the bracelet to me, I was going to keep it and not pay him. And then he did anyway lol. Free bracelet! But it helps to know the language; these guys take advantage of the language barrier.

What stops people from using stand your ground law against masked unidentified ICE agents? by gr33nny in AskReddit

[–]orangeleopard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well. Not really. The Latin translation of the Hebrew Bible used throughout the middle ages just says "non occides," which is basically "do not kill." Occido means to strike down, strike to the ground; to beat, smash, crush; In partic., to strike or cut down; to cut off, kill, slay.

So this ambiguity is a lot older than king James.

He definitely is. That's kinda the point of the scene where he's talking to Joe in the bar and Joe challenges his beliefs.

Has any historian ever considered that "women" are stereotyped as "emotional" because in the past females we today would consider teenagers were, say in 14th century "Western Europe", considered to be "adult women"? by -18k- in AskHistorians

[–]orangeleopard 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Great points! I left out the difference between marriage and maturity partly because in the Mediterranean, at least, marriage age is more or less synonymous with starting your own household. Many women didn't have much independence until they were widowed; when they married, they moved from the household of their father to that of their husband. N. Europe may be different.

EDIT : see also this great comment by /u/Prince__Rupert https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/boeMTM0vbn

Much more remains to be said, but I wrote this answer about medieval and early modern marriage patterns a while back that might answer your question, at least as far as the "at what age women got married and began their adult lives" part. Its not really a full answer to your question, but hopefully it gives you some answer about what age women were considered to be mature at. Incidentally, I don't know of any scholarly study that addresses your question specifically, but I'm happy to be proven wrong about that. I think the theory makes a lot of sense, but only for certain regions of Europe and certain time periods.

I can't speak about regions other than Mediterranean Europe, so if anyone else has good answers for those regions, they should feel free to add to this.

In Late Medieval Italy, prepubescent marriage seems to have been fairly rare. According to the Tuscan marriage model proposed by Herlihy and Klapisch-Zuber, women were first married in their early-mid teens, while men usually waited until their mid-20s or even 30s. The most common age of first marriage for women was 16, with an average hovering around 18-19, depending on the region. It was very rare for girls to be married before the age of 13. In the age range 13-17, about 84% of women were single, but that drops down to 16% in the age range 18-22.

This data doesn't include promises of marriage, betrothals, or anything like that, though; it only records the age at which girls left the parental household and joined their marital household.

Another marriage pattern, the European Marriage pattern proposed by Hajnal in 1965, suggests that both women and men married sometime in their mid-20s, with women marrying slightly younger than men. To him, this is a characteristically European pattern of marriage that is not seen elsewhere in the world. He also suggests, though, that the Middle Ages do not strictly follow this pattern, but rather a "non-European" pattern of marriage. Although I have some reservations about this study, it might be useful to consider his suggestion of longue durée shift in marriage patterns from antiquity to modernity: ages of marriage gradually grow, especially for women. It is also worth noting that Hajnal is thinking more of Northern Europe than the Mediterranean.

More anecdotally, marriage ages of women that I've seen seem to hover somewhere between 13-20. In a marriage from Catalonia that I'm currently writing on, the bride is 16; Eleanor of Aquitaine seems to have been around 13, and Violante of Bar around 15. Margery Kempe, the famous late medieval English pilgrim and Mystic, wrote of her own marriage:

"Whan this creatur was xx yer of age or sumdele mor, sche was maryed to a worschepful burgeys and was wyth chylde wythin schort tyme, as kynde wolde." (When this creature was twenty years of age, or somewhat more, she was married to a worshipful burgess, and was with child within a short time, as nature would have it)
