@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social OK but "literature" explicitly means "written down;" this is how the category has been defined. Do you mean the origin date should be backdated to match the true origin of the story in oral form? Do you mean the category of Literature should be expanded to include stories that exist only in oral Form? Something else?

@guyjantic@infosec.exchange @TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Wait. You stumble uppon someone with an MA in archaeology and a PhD in Cultural Studies and you're like "Well I'll explain the classical definition of literature to her because I guess she doesn't know"?? If we could somehow use the energy men put into mansplaining every single day, we wouldn't have a climate crisis.
