Do not attempt to dispute this claim because it is a True Fact. Evidence: Medievalists have determined that an old-timey poem chronicling a woman’s conversation with her undercarriage is actually 200 years older than previously believed.
According to the Guardian, a researcher found a snippet of a famous piece of early erotica — “Der Rosendorn,” or “The Rose Thorn” — in Austria’s Melk Abbey library. Academics are reportedly “excited” about the discovery, roughly 60 lines on a wisp of parchment, which the Guardian says “rewrites the history of sexuality in medieval literature.” And as this Austrian publication notes, it’s still “making people blush” today, even at 700 years old.
“The Rose Thorn” has reportedly been cast as a precursor to The Vagina Monologues, and according to the woman who uncovered the clip — Christine Glaßner, of the Institute of Medieval Research at Austria’s Academy of Sciences — it’s an “incredibly clever” piece of writing. The poem pits a woman in a battle of wits against her own vagina. Her argument: Men value her good looks, making them more important than her situation downstairs.
Say what you will about that basic premise , but Glaßner contends that the poem handily “demonstrates that you cannot separate a person from their sex.” Nor can you separate humans from their beloved sex poems. Give the people what they want! Give the people whimsical stories about talking vaginas.
