Writer's Block: Pick an era, any era

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Of course, ask the history major this question.

If we had a way to magically transport the SCA's ethos and philosophy into the real middle ages or Renaissance, I would so be there. Unfortunately, most people in that time period, generally speaking, didn't have it quite so easy, and we can probably conjecture that on the whole, life was pretty stinkin' miserable. That, and I rather like bits of technology. No lie.

Being enough of a feminist...barely, though, the late-1960s might have been interesting to visit, I don't think I would last long. That, and polyester. My skin is crawling as we speak. Mom, how on earth did you survive?

The very last one I'd even be remotely consider would be ancient Greece, but even that's a stretch. With my luck, I'd be considered a lower-class woman, and that just doesn't appeal to me. Women so weren't treated that well.

Whenever I am asked that similar question I always at least think NOW. I like modern medicine and the advances in the equality of women (we still have a way to go unfortunately). I definitely wouldn't want to go through 'that time of month' in a time period before they had pads. Yes, I'd like to stay right when I am.
