The primary dichotomy of ancient Roman sexuality was active / dominant / masculine and passive / submissive / feminine. Roman society was patriarchal, and the freeborn male citizen possessed political liberty (libertas) and the right to rule both himself and his household (familia). “Virtue” (virtus) was seen as an active quality through which a man (vir) defined himself. The conquest mentality and “cult of virility” shaped same-sex relations. Roman men were free to enjoy sex with other males without a perceived loss of masculinity or social status as long as they took the dominant or penetrative role. Acceptable male partners were slaves and former slaves, prostitutes, and entertainers, whose lifestyle placed them in the nebulous social realm of infamia, so they were excluded from the normal protections afforded to a citizen even if they were technically free. Freeborn male minors were off limits at certain periods in Rome.


As someone who uses GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Google Play for nearly a year now, I am struggling to think about why one would not be able to use it as their daily driver. It has all the features of a regular Pixel phone, except with more security. And the security features are not even some high-level enthusiast stuff, it is (among others) some really basic features like restricting internet access for specific apps or only giving apps read permission for specific folders on your phone instead of everything. Basic security and privacy features that every device should have.
