RE: It's OK To Be Angry (Pt 1) - Framework
I was just at a American civil war reenactment this morning, and was thinking something similar. The amount of violence witnessed in that era would have normalized toughness that your average man can't grasp today. But besides that, all the skills required for daily chores. Whether medieval or only 150 years ago, they would be so much tougher.
I remember reading somewhere that it really was only a couple of hundred years ago that everyone had to carry at least a knife for self-protection. Women, children, everyone... I can't even imagine.
