Selachian posted:Spring is deeply excited at the sight of the women, but not erotically – as he tells Flashman, he's convinced that these women are the real basis of the mythical Amazons, and is desperate to write a paper on them so he can prove it and rub it in the faces of those Balliol snobs. This is a clever motivation for Spring, a neat little way to show how Europeans failed to understand other cultures in their own terms. Makes the end of the chapter quite disappointing. By the way, Selachian - there was a discussion about the dashed out words earlier - is Flashman censoring the N word himself?

Everyone posted:Wasn't she one of the ones who shaved a serf-girl's head for the LOLs. It's not that far up with slave-raping. Valentina's not a slave, but he raped her and then threw her out of the troika. Nor is it poetic justice like Flashman experiences. In any case, posting that "this rape is not as bad as that rape" is terrible.
