i love this. it's so interesting how you brought up that men were considered youths well into their 20s... meanwhile women were ofc old hags if they weren't married and pregnant by like 14. the ancient greek lawmaker solon had this theory of 'seven year age cycles' and by his estimation men are basically still growing/changing/at their 'peak' until they're 56. i think about age a lot.
