Maelle and Gwenola consider a lifetime of drinking, fighting and fucking to be the traditional path of a Gaulish woman.
When Gwenola leaves the house dressed from neck to ankle, her mother thinks she will get assaulted by boys who will be wondering what she's hiding.
Generally everything about slavery, as Yorick, a relatively wealthy, relatively Romanized Gaul employs many of them to work in his salt mine.
When one falls sick, his slave trader treats it like it's a phone with a virus and offers to exchange him as Yorick is a good client.
Briac, who went to study in Rome it what sounds suspiciously like a business school, treats the slaves like employees in a modern start-up. When he tries to improve their working conditions (to an extent - for example by adding fur to their shackles so they will hurt less while they work), the more senior slaves outright claim that there's no reason the newer ones should have it easier than them.
Gwenola asking her dad to give her out-of-use slaves so she can practice Human Sacrifice as part of her druidic studies.
The slaves do not like Briac's idea of giving them half a day of rest every week, mostly because they're locked up in their dormitory bored out of their mind. They think it more humane to let them work.
Lena considers that bedding anyone who asked, his men especially, made Vercingetorix a "real man", while Yorick, who only has sex with his wife, is not.

Ysabeau is shamed for going out with a bare head, but no one minds that her cleavage shows off three quarters of her boobs.
Many people in the village are rather concerned about the lack of domestic abuse in François and Ysabeau's house, some of the women going as far as to promise Ysabeau that it doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't care about her. They end up having to fake a wifebeating or two every once in a while.
Gaspard's worker status. He is not exactly a slave or an indentured servant, but Ysabeau doesn't pay him, although she feeds and houses him. When his girlfriend Clotilde eventually puts her foot down and demands she pay him for his years of labor, the total sum amounts to a handful of pennies.
Ysabeau, despite having a full-time job as a cheese maker and seller, does the totality of the house work, and is often seen cooking and toiling in the background while François feasts with his friends. He doesn't even consider taking the pot out of the fire when it's overboiling, nor that it would be too hot for his bare hands.
The Dung Ages is in full action, and appart from Ysabeau, most people walk around covered in dirt and who knows what else.
Ysabeau is furious that François gave beer to the baby... instead of kirsch, as beer will not make him sleep, it will make him pee.

Philippe is once outraged that the Abbot would walk in on him while he's naked, but fine once he puts on his wig.
It is frowned upon for Philippe and Marie-Louise to share a bed, especially if it's Philippe's bed, because it would mean that Marie-Louise was the one who came to him for sex.
Both Philippe and Marie-Louise often sit on their pierced chair in public (or try to). They too find it a little outlandish, but as Louis XIV famously did his entire morning routine (including that business) in public, they feel they should emulate him.
While the 68-year age gap between Marie-Thérèse and her husband does raise a few eyebrows, most people consider the wealth and the rank of duchess that her marriage gives her to be a decently fair deal.
When Marie-Thérèse receives news that her infant son misses her and refuses to suckle, Philippe advises her to let him cry, otherwise she might eventually have to visit him weekly.
Philippe and Rıza Beğ once discuss how criminals are treated in their respective countries. While they both have prisons and galleys, Philippe boasts that France is more advanced than Persia as the Persians dont have drawing and quartering.

Following the conflicts between Brittany and the rest of the country during The French Revolution and the rise of the First Empire, all of the Parisians, and it seems the entirety of the French diaspora, are ridiculously prejudiced against Bretons like Le Cloalec'h, treathing him as though he is from an exotic, backwards, violence-worshipping civilization on the other side of the planet.
In a Take That! to more modern French racism, two Maghrebine patrons are shocked to see a Breton in the inn, and use the same kind of language to talk about it as the modern right/far-right would use to talk about them.
In-Universe: Renata thinks that the feminism of The Enlightenment movement is ridiculous and that it's not a problem that a woman should have no rights but those given to her by her husband, since Jean always knows better than her anyway. Baptiste, at least, is outraged by the misogyny of the Napoleonic Code.
