The Judge in the Powdered White Wig Agrees
It’s no secret that women’s rights in the 1800s weren’t nearly as developed as they are today. However, even though punishments may have been considered brutish back then, here’s something we can all agree. If a woman doesn’t consent to a kiss, she’s within her rights to bite half your nose off.
The dude actually brought the woman to court to see whether the government would do anything about it, and they certainly did. They sided with the woman. No means no, even back then. Nowadays, you’re not allowed to bite each other’s noses half-off, but you can shame them on social media.
