Quote of the day: Sparta!

[matgb]

Via a friends locked post, Sparta Reconsidered - Spartan Women:

In a frequently quoted incident, the wife of King Leonidas was allegedly asked why Spartan women were the only women in Greece who "ruled" their husbands. Gorgo replied, "because we are the only women who give birth to men." In other words, only men with the self-confidence to accept women as equals were men at all.

Sounds good to me. From what I'm hearing, the film is fun as well. Don't think 'd have wanted to live there, but can't argue with that attitude.

Anyway, just got in, had to share that one, have to plot my revenge on nadriel now.

Men in leather underwear with rippling abs and fabulous beards who treat women like human beings (for the most part)? Sign me up! ;) (I kid, honestly.)

It was good, you should see it. Well, it was so bad that it was good, but in a very pretty (and bloody) way.
