6 years old, likes making clothes, actually sells them
yeah no the maids would happily describe/show you underwear just for a chance to get some new better ones, this whole employer harasser thing is completely whack, "try making them" would be a completely valid excuse

As always I feel like they're under selling how painful a woman's periods can be. Your body is literally growing and then shedding an organ.

Yeah they definitely are, though I do understand why the author probably didn't want to linger on it. (This arc in general went by at breakneck speed compared to the web novel lol)
I was nearly on the floor the other day with pain and I cannot imagine having to work such an active job like adventuring, with tons of outdoor camping and discomfort while suffering those. Hopefully Ageha will quietly revolutionise the quality of life of those women and anyone else experiencing periods.

This is such a strange oversight ESPECIALLY considering his knowledge. Of course women would want underwear and OF COURSE it would be of great importance concerning periods. When one type was made why not make the other? “Difficult to ask women or maids for their underwear” means you knew about it and then took the road to ignore it. If what you're asking for is a manner of protocol then suck is the fuck up and get your shit in line.
I love this manga, yet this is one of the clear stumbles.

I feel like the whole 'women have it so easy' mindset men apparently had in the past is a misrepresentation of the past -- or totally overblown from what it actually was.
Bachelors were known for being dirty unkempt lots... Why? Because they didn't have time to juggle the house work and their actual work; they knew how much effort and time it took to do house work.
And most sons would have likely been well acquainted with their mother's house work at the time as well, and likely have helped out.
In fact, house work was such a laborious and time consuming thing, like taking laundry down to the river to wash your clothes, I can't imagine anyone saying it was an easy job -- and that was just one aspect of a woman's usual house care duties.
There were no vacuums, cooking was done with actual fires, and women had to educate their children too (before schools became common and mandatory).
In the light of all this, I find it hard to believe that many men would believe women had an easy job (outside of nobles, because ho boy did the noble women have it ridiculously easy, but let's not go there).
There was a reason why it was said "behind every great men, lies a great woman" -- the women was taking care of the house work, and it was his mother that raised him, so they allowed him to become the man he was.
That all said, it becomes understandable why this became a prevailing opinion as times went on; Schools educate and watch the kids for the majority of the work day; vacuums and other cleaning materials made those once tough jobs significantly easier and expedient; and washing machines and plumbing allowed women to do the washing whilst at home with little effort.
Jobs that would take a woman an entire day now became a 10 minute affair.
It could be said that the washing machine did more for feminism than any of their campaigning ever did -- and that's not any insult or slander, as it truly freed women up to look outside of their past role as housewife and look elsewhere, it's a testament to the massive impact such seemingly mundane technology had on our lives.
But I digress, my point is that I think the image we have of men from the past believing women had it easy to be mistake, a smearing of all time periods together, where more recent men's sentiment (post washing-machine) is held up as the prevailing notion for men during all time periods (and probably a bit of sexist misandry as well).
Not to say there wasn't sexism or misogyny in the past, of course, but that this particular depiction of it seems inaccurate to me.
