“I decided to start from the very first episode, because I am also very interested in the subject. I was disappointed to see that Gilgamesh was listed as the first story when that has long been known to not be true the descent of Inanna is older than the epic of Gilgamesh, and might itself not even be the oldest story. Theoretically, this could be just an innocent mistake. However, it is an innocent mistake that lends itself to the perpetuation of sexism by crediting a story about a man over a story about a woman, despite the fact that the information shared is demonstrably not true. I hope that as I listen, I will feel the need to update this review. I hope that undermining the representation of women and replacing it with the representation of men is not a theme throughout all of the episodes.”
