13 Most Historically Important Perverts

Some of the most influential human beings of all time, who also happened to be huge, shameless perverts.

interesting list. Too bad the writing is stupid.

Einstein wasn't a perv. Neither was Henry VIII.

Charlie Chaplin would have been a good pick for this.

What about Catherine the Great, or Valeria Messalina?


It's impossible for women to be perverts?

umm
James Joyce didn't write As I Lay Dying. he was also not English.

also the rationale on most of these was pretty sub-par.

Henry was a prime example, in a historical view. He went through woman, like a man today goes through toilet paper. That is reason enough to be labeled as a perv.

oh come on, give men more credit...most of us use more than six squares of toilet paper in our life.

This list was stupid.

Henry VIII wasn't a perv, ffs.
He was driven by a desire to have a male son.
Had Anne Boleyn not miscarried (IIRC it was a boy), Henry would not have had her killed and probably would never had marreid Jane Seymour. And I can continue on! Had Jane Seymour not died after childbirth, he probably would never had married Katherine Howard.

Yeah, some of those were dubious.

I was expecting most of them to be like Marquis de Sade, but no... Instead, we get the personal-emotional trainwreck Einstein, the rather (sexually) milquetoast Henry VIII, among others.

Mozart was an interesting addition to the list, although composing bawdy songs with multilingual mondegreens seems less the actions of a pervert and more the actions of a simple prankster.

All men did then. They just didn't marry them first. If you're going to call Henry a perv, you have to call all men throughout history pervs, too, which is really prudish.
