beccaelizabethso it is talking about theories of the origin of gender inequalities, and examples of less unequal ones:
"Thus the Mbuti Pygmies of Africa have a relatively egalitarian society because men and women cooperate in both domestic and economic life. Yet even here men retain some independence from the domestic sphere by having separate and secret flute cults."
Flute cult!
for some reason that just strikes me as funny. also, cool.
yet I google for "Mbuti Pygmy" "flute cult" and I get nothing. pygmy "flute cult" gets nothing too. Woe!
"flute cult" gets 104 hits, starting witha lot of Native American stuff. Nifty :)
