Hotties from History

Hottie from History #17

Frederick Douglass. 1818-1895

• When he was a slave, at the age of sixteen, he was beaten by his master. But he fought back, and the farmer stopped beating him. Ha. I don’t make a habit of condoning violence…but in this case..I think it’s pretty hot.
• He escaped from slavery. In order to do that, I guess you have to comply to a certain degree of hotness: quick thinking, ambition, inner strength…and, for that matter, probably some lovely outer strength as well. Nom.
• He has a very serious face. Look at it, all serious. If that face told you that they wanted to sleep with you…well…you just wouldn’t be able to say no. I think assertive is the word. Assertively hot.
• Oh…and he was one of the leading American anti-slavery leaders of the 1800s.
• He was a woman’s suffragist as well. He cared about women’s equality back in the day when this was basically a rare thing for a man to do. 
• He was involved with the Quaker Underground Railroad, which helped fugitive slaves escape to freedom, putting his own freedom and life in grave danger.
• He once said “A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.” And self confidence is an attractive trait. Especially when your a humanitarian genius.
• Spent a fair bit of time in jail. I think this adds to his hotness…you know, willing to suffer for the cause and all that.
• When he became an old man, he had a massive grey-white beard. That is the mark of a distinguished hotty. In fact, it possibly made him that tiny little bit more of a hotty. Massive grey-white beards rule. Fact.

Gee
