Swingers meet in the Southern Tier
WIVB – NY
There’s a lot of outrage in a small southern tier community where a veterans post is doubling as a hangout for swingers. It’s a very controversial lifestyle
Men & women then were on an equal footing as survival of the group dictated such. Males hunted and females tended the tribe and needs of such as males did in hunting and foraging for the group….it would stand to reason that that would be an equal opportunity for both. Females would submit to the males who were the strongest and most viral to keep the species alive and strong, part of the selection process. Has nothing to do with anything other than propagation of the species. it was a has to nothing more…30
Females didn’t ‘submit’. They were overtaken without choice.
Many anthropological studies fail to mention the native ancient societies that preferred a gentler way…where females chose males as rituals were in place for males to display themselves and subsequently females rose and approached the males.
There was no submitting here. There was mutual consent.
Males that subdued and overpowered females were summarily chastised, bludgeoned by other males or outcast from the tribe to join more aggressive tribes that would have them as it upset the natural, peaceful order of that sub-group of society.
As well, without the selection of the males by females via mating rituals (dances, displays of cunning or bravery – not just brute) smaller, gentler, equally useful males would not have survived to propagate.
Someone needs to read more Ellis Havelock.
As well, matriarchal groups did exist. That is not to say that females ruled in such a way as a monarch would, but that the family would not pass on the heir of fortune or rule to a direct male descendent. It would fall to a male child of a female relative related by blood (i.e. nephew). This was done to prevent the spurious misuse of power and resources lest ego and greed overtake the whole community via nepotism and favoritism. Preserving all wealth to be distributed equally, no matter the talent, contribution or role was imperative to the survival of all.
Unfortunately, patriarchal ideals have destroyed these practices as they considered (rather self-righteously judged) them ‘savage’.
There are a few matriarchal tribes that still exist today, but face extinction just as all natives of every land have.
