I'm just using the connection as an example.

And it doesn't have to make sense to you. It's historical fact.

What doesn't make sense is to take a 2000 years old cultural norm and apply it to today.

Would you call a black man "negro" today? It was a normal word back then. Good luck explaining the historical context.

There are plenty of historical facts which are just that :a historical fact with no connection to today.
