thank u king

Same

Exactly. I hated history in high school because it was all about dates and wars. It wasn’t until I was 26 that i started watching videos like this. Now I love history

omg i thought i was seeing things! this really takes my interest off any documentary...

@@edenn1278 I had the exact same feeling...

@@edenn1278 They really looked out of place.

On the one hand I get it, because AI is often overused but in this case I think it’s great because we get to see accurate (or as accurate as AI can get) examples. They mentioned several times how it’s hard enough to find documentation of these women so I’m sure trying to find period accurate examples of artistic depictions is even harder. Personally I prefer the AI images over the renaissance era stock art when taking about the Middle Ages, or time accurate stock art showing few to no women at all we’d likely otherwise get.

I seriously liked the video ~ and don’t understand what all the fuss is about. 😂 People complaining about videos, should just make their own. It’s a lot of work that goes into them from what I understand. And they’re free! Sometimes school’s use these types of videos nowadays too.

Might consider trying to get a life just saying

This reads as truly pathetic.

This reads as truly path etic.

I understand not wanting to use AI. I don’t get why people are giving you a hard time for simply requesting not using it. I think it’s fair to not want AI. Unfortunately, AI will continue to improve and we’ll inevitably see it more and more whether we like it or not

Yes as there's a much stronger sense of community so people feel very connected instead of isolated

my milk maiden days are over! i aint never going back and aint nobody ever gonna see my elbows again! i'll reluctantly tend to the hearth and perhaps some light mending...

The wokeness will be gone though, almost looking forward to it.

If women were like this now, there would be a higher birth rate

Wow! You were a dairy maid, brewer, baker, blacksmith and a stone mason at your grandparents? Very cool.

Growing up in Moldova this is all still the way of life in the rural areas

History is about rich people and a little bit about the average Joe.

​@@myka788very modern 38, and I did animal feeding, egg harvesting, etc. The milking was done by someone else, we still buy fresh cow's milk from the farmer. I baked to sell cakes and sweet breads, helped with the building of buildings and did alot of gardening. I still garden and preserve food. I've done alot of brewing, including elderberry wine, and elderflower champagne and mead too. Now I still fish too and would help as a child and teen to harvest clams and sea snails from the reefs. So I'm then medieval, as I have friends who also make cheese and butter every few weeks.

​@@myka788Don't forget the sex workers! Apparently the grandparents had a fairly diverse little operation going. 😉

Ahh-kinda like child bearing?

Honestly it is a sad joke how many times I have read this exact comment. Mr Schwerpunkt spends his whole life creating new KZfaq accounts and writing the same thing. You are pathetic and so many people have realised this. Bu the way, your videos are shit.

You mean that white supremacy channel?

fake spam account from you as usual

My goal, someday, for a side project is to dive into my roots and genealogy. It’s hard to find records but fascinating to learn. I can’t fathom how hard it was to just live back when.

What are all you people complaining about? I thought it was a seriously great video!

Exactly. We're going to be going back to these manual labor jobs to survive because companies are taking the lazy route of AI to create content. Stealing from artists and taking jobs away from people who need them.

Please don't stumble and fall from your soapbox. Wouldn't want to hurt yourself trying to activize while watching free content.

Agree, I love History Hit but very disappointed to see the use of AI images.

@@Sarcasmhime I didn’t find it a bad use of AI. The cost to replicate historical garments might play a role for many channels. Simple wool, silks or cottons would be hard to replicate considering the old ways it was produced vs. the commercial garment industry. I still enjoyed the video and felt that it gave the viewer a glimpse of the past ways. It wasn’t that many years ago when KZfaq was literally just low quality home videos. We’ve come so far in such a short time. I liked the video!

Well yeah, the peasants were disposable. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yeah but everybody inside the city would eventually starve to death

yep!

Precisely true!

Where do you live in the US that you can’t get fresh produce? I know we’re luckier in Texas than in most places, but I wasn’t aware anyone in the US had to live on canned fruit and wonder bread.

​@@erzabetf9544I think freshness of food goes wider than just whatever doesn't come from a can. "Fresh" food at supermarkets often is days if not weeks old by the time it's sold. Even things that have a shorter turnover time, like bread, I'd hardly call that fresh considering what's in it and how it was processed. It's not necessarily made to be the best for us. As long as it has a long shelf life and it sells. I think that growing, making and baking your own food often trumps whatever the average supermarket presents us with. When I eat "real" food, I taste and feel the difference.

@@absb.5978 What’s stopping you from growing, making, and baking your own food?

@@erzabetf9544 What's stopping me personally? Nothing. I have a good amount of outdoor space and the skills to make the most of it. I grow/make a fair amount of food, I can bake bread, preserve my own food and am a lover of all things fermented. Skills that I've developed over the years. I also happen to originate from cultures where people are used to eating what their land provides, but that's not the way things work where I grew up and live now. Anyway, none of that changes the point that was raised about the quality of the food offered in supermarkets. Not everybody is in the same position to grow their own food. I know I wasn't back when I lived in an apartment in the city. Some people rely on stores to feed themselves. And what they have to work with is not the best from a nutritional standpoint, including the so-called fresh produce.

@@absb.5978 One point you’re missing, although you’re actually making it, is that you don’t have time to grow, make, and bake all of your own food. I also have the skills to grow, bake, and preserve my own food. I think we’re all from cultures that used to grow their own food. (My great grandparents were all farmers.) But I also have a job. And I’d much rather go to my office than milk a cow or have to bake bread. The lifestyle the original poster is touting requires other people to devote themselves to feeding her. I doubt she’d be as excited by it if she actually had to milk the cows herself. She might appreciate those apples from cold storage more if she didn’t just assume that the “pride” these women in a developing country took in their skills was enough for them.

It's scary how eager they are to tell us they're losers.

Those comments must've quickly been redistributed toward the bottom bc I've so far only seen positive comments by both and women... and I've already scrolled through a lot

In America, you will only find a Dairy Queen!😅

i was just scrolling to find this comment. super weird. i agree. use of AI looks REALLY lazy

some day everything will be AI

@@williamspitzschuh8167 doubtful

It's hard to find photographs of medieval women at work.

@@susanmercurio1060 lmfao 😂😂😂. we’re just asking for re-enactment photos or drawings. not just “ai, make photo of medieval sexy woman with bread”

A) the "Dairy Maid" would not be milking cows, that was the work of the milk maid b) Dairy or Milk maids had by no means the highest death rate throughout history - Mine workers for instance were far higher c) The fact your grand mother was killed by a cow does not make a historical trend

​@@davehopkin9502They said they looked up the history because of the family history.

women had higher death rates throughout history, but its because of death by childbirth and not from farm work

@yerabbit6333 childbirth is a condition, not an occupation. Thank you for your response. Nice that people are interested in history.

Through the ages high sea fishermann and seaman have the highest deathrate. If you do it right you cannot be killed by a cow, they cannot kick forward and in will not roll on you when you milk them.

😮 medieval women loved their men ❤

People always have needed one another. Marriage is supposed to be a team effort. Choose a spouse carefully. You don’t want someone with poor personality characteristics or bad habits.

I see what you did there lol...mr subflow

​@@indiaandrews6996also beware of old witches or devils merely taking the guise of a potential partner!

I'm sure they still needed their men slay those pesky dragons.

American natives living in peace😅

how much was rent

@@NIGHTGUYRYAN fair enough rent was cheaper back then but it is ideal in my opinion for the woman to stay and look after the house while the man works.

You don't actually have to add anything. Unpasteurized milk separates on its own. When it's churned the cream and fat floats. And then it fermented as its own natural bacteria grows

@ClarissaBurtness absolutely, from native lactobacilli, thatsbwhat I said. But that's NOT what they're doing here. They're adding vinegar and that's historically inaccurate

@@cassieoz1702 sorry I guess I misunderstood.

A very modern idea

You okay, little guy?

I think that's her doing a French accent

@@lydiasefton4780 Maybe. But she’s not even close.

Yeah I noticed that, it was jarring to switch the accent for one word.

They somehow found the time! My grandmother had 15 children.

Why are you yelling?

@@Polisciandfries I AM NOT YELLING. I AM USING CAPITAL. WHY ARE YOU CONTACTING ME ? ARE YOU TRYING TO BE RUDE F.W. ?

⁠​⁠@@aimaction7393 In online communications like this, writing in all caps is considered “shouting”, and poor etiquette. Also, on KZfaq comments, anyone is able to reply to anyone, it’s not “contacting” you, really. It’s just having conversation. It’s difficult to understand another person’s tone, sometimes, but I really think the person asking was genuinely asking, since, as I’ve said, you were technically seen to be “shouting” by writing in all caps. (But yes sometimes people are just being rude, too.) If you have poor eyesight, which I suspect might be why you prefer typing in all caps, it might be possible to get whatever you’re typing on to show much larger size font, like large-print books. I could maybe help you figure out how to get that setting changed so you can read and write more easily without having to “shout” in your typing, if you like. Hopefully it’s a very simple few clicks. I could maybe find a step-by-step guide online somewhere. Would that help you? In reply to your idea that women’s oldest profession is motherhood, I understand what you mean, but as an expansion on the idea of sex work being the oldest profession. Motherhood is not a professional position. “Profession” generally means doing something for pay, which, while motherhood is hard work, is unfortunately not paid labor. But you raise an interesting idea: women have been valued for their bodies not just sexually but for reproduction too. Their body, for use in sexual pleasure or for reproduction, has always been the most basic desirable commodity women had to offer, and to this day, it remains a hot commodity. Meanwhile, for millennia men’s bodies have been similarly commodified in terms of physical labor. Fortunately, through time, humankind has learned that there are more ways to make a living from one’s labor. (Pun intended, maybe!) But society *still* divides men and women’s jobs, even when it’s not necessary. Progress is a permanent process. Some things never change.

​​@@Polisciandfries AN OLD WOMan.😊

It sadly is cheaper for production costs.

"Blah blah blah...from a man's rib..." nothing you have to say matters.

Take your patriarchal bronze age bullshit and park it where the sun never shines, Abraham!

And men came from the breath of a woman as spirit such as the set apart spirit known as the Holy Spirit is feminine when you read it from Hebrew the language it came from. It’s also women who still bring life into the world and it’s stated in Genesis. So to try to make a man superior to women and not an equal is appalling and pushing an incorrect ideology. By the way women and men had separate works, but were equal within their own rights and this video is more on peasant women and not so much upperclass, but both still had things they did. Upperclass women were more known for management roles over the peasant women. She touched on that in this video as well.

Did you say women come from a mans rib? Are you on drugs😂😂😂😂

Oooops, did anyone else hear the sound of a fragile mans ego breaking? It takes nothing from the astonishing achievements of men to discuss the roles of women in society through the ages too, and their achievements. Very little of women is documented which is largely down to misogyny, especially that exacerbated by Christianity. In the original text and language, Adam's side is cleaved, the body divided, and made Eve, man and woman, rather than one body...so saying Eve was made from a rib is somewhat disingenuous and a very bad translation, which has only led to a very bad interpretation and fed the ego of 'man'. I suspect this is partly down to the need of some men to quell their own jealousy of the fact that women create and grow life within their own bodies, and feel the need to claim the creation of ALL else. Very, very sad. A little bit pathetic. In truth, there are many men with extraordinary talent, dedication, intellect, bravery, innovation, strength...of mind and body. I respect and appreciate what they have done for humanity and see no reason to degrade or belittle them. Mostly I respect and appreciate the men who have stood with women when they have seen the injustice done to women by trying to stifle their intellect, creativity and talent, or bravery, and deprive them of opportunity and autonomy.
