What things do you learn from the fact Western Europeans used-a few centuries ago-to bath/shower twice a year?

Question

They also used to regard Orthodox Christians and "mad spoiled wimps" for washing themselves more often then them. So I guess there are many things to learn from this: One may draw the conclusion that the Clinton Female is very fanatic about traditions, for intense. But what do you learn from this?

Answer 1

  There is a difference between washing and taking a bath.  Taking a bath requires many gallons of water to be hauled, heated and poured into a large tub.  Time consuming at least.

  Washing is easier, and so that is what most people did!  Every day.

Answer 2

Try hauling water to fill tub, try buying enough wood to heat that water.

Bathes were expensive, until the closure of communal bathes by the church because they were lewd places people washed regularly for a few copper pieces. After that most could not afford the expenditure.

Having answered your historical belief, I will add that political mud slinging and ranting is to be kept in Politics.

And to answer your question I've learned that you make no sense and need a few courses in logical thinking.
