gollark: It's a thing. ish.
gollark: I mean, one of the "wisdom of the ages"es of Western societies is to question past traditions and old ideas.
gollark: People complaining about it doesn't mean it's true either, I doubt they actually *measured* it.
gollark: They may also not have been very good ideas in the time when they "evolved", and just stuck around through luck or being tied to better ones.
gollark: Also, things being a good idea in very different societies of the past doesn't make them sensible in the different environments of today. They *might* be, but it isn't guaranteed.
