[@KyleTremblayTitularKtrey]

Scheherazade isnt a historical figure or at least the nights werent how it actually went. Secondly, the divisions of nights you have read ae entirely arbitrary as you are reading selections from the thousand and one nights and not the complete list of stories, the complete list is something like 22 volumes long. Its an extremely cool set of stories, but please dont fill them in with modern nonesense.

The women of the harem were sex slaves meaning they were forced to sleep with their slave-masters + the king arrogantly demanded loyalty while he wasn't loyal himself. And then he killed off so many innocent girls he skewed the gender ratio of his kingdom. HE is the monster.

[@themercifulguard3971]

Those women committed the highest degree of adultery lol. Hypothetically if I were to take your POV, his wife, the Queen, would still be considered in the wrong too since she cheated on him with a black slave. And anyways concubinage was the norm for almost all of human history in all societies. The men provide and the ones of high wealth had the privilege of taking multiple lovers since they can fulfill the greater burden of responsibility… 🤔 So yes the women were ALSO monsters for breaking the natural law and succumbing to degeneracy.
