Let's be honest. If I was alive back then, I would have been married off in exchange for a plow, 3 pigs, and 12 sacks of potatoes, if I was lucky.

Hey, don't sell yourself short. You're worth at least twice that many sacks of potatoes.
Hmm 3goats take it or leave it
I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. Literally, I don't have any say in the matter.
How so? They still need people to open the doors and do the catering.
Oooh they mean as an invited person? Pwffft na mate, everyone wants to be the princess but there's not as many openings as they think.
I mean… Paris is Burning (Wish You Were Here).
I don't think I would get along well with people who liked adolescent me.
Fun fact, my SO and I met at a dance (poor person gala). It still happens.
Imagine missing out on nightclubs and all the other places a normal person can enjoy a night out...
Such people only "love" you for your status, as an exquisite piece of their collection. You are merely a luxury for them.
I never go dancing in bals populaires whether for the forteen of July or for the fête de la musique but where do this person live not to have a place to go, dance and meet people?
I mean, if you want to go the capitalist way, nightclub are quite spread around the world...
Yes, there are all kinds of dance events from the formal to the casual. It depends where you live, I guess what's on offer.
Vienna has a fantastic ball culture for example.
I've always heared that LATAM would do the siesta cause they go dancing at night. I even meet people that move there for a few years just to enjoy the dancing culture.
You didn't go to galas unless you owned successful businesses or people.
Bring back Masquerades!
You mean, Mardi Gras balls? We still have those where I live. They’re expensive and some exclusive.
Fuck you, Sabbat rules!
Back in the day we poor people would have had all night ho downs and tore the barn down, or had naked drunk parties in the forest. We should get back to that
Those still exist, you are just not invited to them 😛
I’ve heard you gotta go to Ren fairs to meet all the freaky swingers
I could be entirely wrong here, but I remember hearing that if you ever go on the Star Trek cruise, it's advisable to bring recent STD tests.
Bunch of freaky, sex starved trekkies? No surprised
Board game nights might work, but the board game folks like pain with their casual sex
You don't HAVE to but it does make it much easier
(._.)
This is correct, my company hosts a Gayla every year and I'm not invited to that either. It's for donors and essential folks only
Do they spell it like that?
Probably not
Yeah but we also still have tavern wenches like your mother.
Uncool dude... Mother deserve to be treated nicely on the fediverse.
You know their mother won’t see this right?
If she's into "nice guys," I guess I could role play.
So your answer to misogyny is more misogyny... How elegant !
That's not misogyny, it's objectification.
