@oecolamp Besides the fact that there is an actual council of elders in the Odyssey, it doesn't take away from the fact that 90% to 95% of the ancient Greek population died before reaching the age of 60.

There are plenty of cultures where women keep their maiden names and/or hyphenate instead. This is an anglophone tradition, not a global norm.

@RumeshaAW@racerdogjack Vilifying elderly millionaire homeowners who have the time to attend community meetings to oppose any new housing development that might in any way lower their property prices or affect the “character” of their neighborhoods.
