Oiran: the tragic queens of Japan’s red-light district

The season is almost over, but that doesn't mean the episodes get less exciting! This week we take a look at The Women of the Mexican Revolution! They are exactly as badass as they sound!

You are not gonna guess how long the "disease" hysteria has been plaguing humanity! 😱 In this week's episode, we take a deep dive into the history of hysteria and take a look at how this sexist phenomenon still affects us 4,000 years after it first reared its ugly head. Spicy TK definitely makes an appearance in this episode, and we have garbage humans that follow us from ancient Egypt to Greece, to the modern day. If you've got a uterus, hold onto it for dear life, so that it doesn't wander around your body and cause you distress, and let's get into the history of hysteria. ___________________________________________________ Wanna take a trip with TK!?! https://trovatrip.com/trip/africa/egypt/egypt-with-tehya-nakamura-oct-2024?earlyBird=true ___________________________________________________ 💙💛Want more FTLH?💙💛 Patreon https://www.patreon.com/fortheloveofhistorypodcast?fan_landing=true&view_as=public Merch Store https://www.bonfire.com/store/for-the-love-of-history/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveof_historypodcast/?hl=en Webstite https://www.fortheloveofhistorypod.com/about TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@4theloveofhistory Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6SjwlXC5e8uvPxXE8siyEZ?si=1f813135bad1471c ________________________________________________________________________ 📚Resources📚 resources for this episode can be found on For the Love of History Podcast.com https://www.fortheloveofhistorypod.com/about Learn more about your ad choices.
