"Across social media, women have been encouraged to ask the men in their life how often they think about the Roman empire and to record the answer. To their surprise (recounted in videos posted all over TikTok, Instagram, and more), many men purport to think about the Roman empire quite a bit. … Presumably some of this is performative, an attempt to project oneself as the sort of history bro who can mansplain Catullus."
