Kind of a natural response to the problems of their traditionally nomadic society.

These men all look like transexuals or homosexuals or metrosexuals or something, but not men. And the women, certainly, are loved by their mothers.

God bless Christianity, where men are men and women are women.

Bizarre society. Unmarried teen pregnancy seems to be encouraged but the parents are called “One who committed an error” and parents aren’t allowed to speak to their first born son and daughter who are raised by the grandparents.

This proves my point. All cultures are NOT equal.

The whole cultural “equality” BS by the left only has one objective, one meaning -
