The field of anthropology is as susceptible to political fads as other liberal arts.It was not oppression. It was a necessity. For almost all of history of out species humans struggled to outbreed death. Males needed to resist, overcome and master their environments. Women needed to pop out babies. Period. In our times it is oppression, because even the most backward cultures can do better or, at the very least, can see examples of how to do it better. You donβt know a goddamn thing about it. Thatβs pure propaganda. Well, no... I don't think so. I know you are in the field but I read quite a bit and have been for the last 35 years or so. And I remember very well how the Soviet anthropology worked and how anthropology used to be in the (nominally) free world. Nowadays it's a lot more like the Soviet kind.

When we were kids, my Dad used to joke that he was the head of the family and our Mom was like a Vice-President.
He made all the important decisions about things like Americaβs relationship with China.
My Mom made the lesser decisions such as whether the family should get a new house or a new car.
He was kidding but it was actually true. He was a substantial breadwinner but Mom had the babies and ruled the nest.

That women are subjected cross multiple cultures is self-evident.

I didnβt watch the video, but to answer the question, yes. Girls are trained from a young age that their βvirginityβ is supposed to be a gift to their male partners. Boys arenβt taught that. Girls are made to sign βpurity pledgesβ to to their fathers, which is really sick. Virginity is used to oppress women and girls. Sounds like you're a proponent of βyoung girlsβ loosing their virginity. Pedophiles applaud.

You know, it's almost as if there was some sort of biological reality that made women face bigger consequences than men from having sex and thus there is more shame...

That women are subjected cross multiple cultures is self-evident. I am not disputing that the absolute majority of cultures have been male driven. I dispute that there is\was\has been some inherent evil intent or a genetic flaw. This happened so our species could survive and thrive. Now, of course, we fully mastered our environment and therefore should put this all behind us, encourage women to fully compete and utilize their talents.

Thatβs sick and twisted.

It is linked to paganism and fertility rites. Before Christianity, sexuality was not associated with sin at all. There is a 1969 record on Witchcraft by Vincent Price where he talks about it (he also provides a recipe for turning into a werewolf) Awesome movie! Some of the things they talk about are similar to Lupercalia.

Only in societies that restrict access to birth control and abortion. In other words, societies ruled by patriarchal scumbags.

There was no such thing as effective birth control for most of human history. Abortion was sketchy and dangerous for the mother at best. It's not just something men made up, that's a modern sub-western interpretation of history.

LOL, I doubt there are many women and girls - over about 12, in America who are virgins Casey, but if the US posters on this board are any indication of the country as a whole there sure are a fuck of lot of incels in The US.

Boys are looked down on for being virgins, like we're losers in life. When I was younger I was ashamed for never having had sex. I've had a bunch of it now, but only with one girl, and some people still think that makes me a failure. Youβre an honest man. I find that very sexy. π₯° Still, I'm very glad I have slept with more than one woman in my life. PS. Maybe ayatollah is not counting hookers?

The reality is that your sex life is probably a lot more fulfilling than most posters'. The question shouldn't be how many partners someone has had, but how many they had that worked. You've got it as most posters on this board don't even have kids.
