girdle

edit

"changed girdle to belt; the proper translation is belt, the idea of hercules stealing a queen's undergarment is a mistranslation rooted in misogynistic sexual fantasy" - no; it's only in the last century that "girdle" came to mean a piece of female underwear. Otherwise it means a belt or similar. Johnbod (talk) 01:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
