Interesting to see how things that are commenly regarded as highly problematic today were a normality in the Middle Ages. Anti-feminist, but good to study. Boccaccio would thrive as a Gen-Z.

I know, it was written in like the 14th century and their culture is very different and medieval society is most definitely not modern society. It really is a product of its time because the amount of infidelity and misogyny got to be really uncomfortable a lot of the time. Studied it for a class and like the content could be uncomfortable but also not that interesting overall.
