I read a claim that the 40-hour work week had been conceived with the assumption that a spouse would be around to handle other tasks such as cleaning, cooking, caring for children and shopping, and therefore it has become outdated. What is the historicity of this claim?

Whenever the question is asked here, the answers are often that medieval/early modern Western society wasn't nearly as conservative as people think (prostitution was rampant to an extent we'd find bizarre even today.) Do our modern perceptions of "traditionalism" solely come from about 1800-1955?

The villain in the 1943 Batman serial has a closed-circuit television security camera. Did these already exist in 1943 or was this prescient science fiction?

In a 1971 interview with Playboy, actor John Wayne was quoted as saying, "I believe in white supremacy." What was the public reaction to this? When did it become no longer fashionable for celebrities and public figures to openly express racist and misogynistic views like this in public?

There are hundreds of sexual carvings depicting male and female exhibitionists on medieval Christian churches. To my knowledge, no one was ever prosecuted for what appears to be "vandalism." Does this mean the church approved of these sexual carvings?
