And not everyone believes that men and women are distinct and non-interchangeable.
What alternate beliefs are tolerated only at the margin and what are mainstream says a great deal about a society.
Beliefs that are best marginal in other cultures and standards of orthodoxy in others define the culture.
The root of culture is cult (remove the last three letters from culture), cultic behaviour being behaviour that seems ritualistic and artificial from outside the group but inside the group is important and part of what defines belonging and participating in the highest way. Some thinking will go well with the behaviour, other thinking will be close to incompatible. That which goes well is “Right belief” “ortho dox”
“cultic behaviour being behaviour that seems ritualistic and artificial from outside the group but inside the group is important and part of what defines belonging “
Is there any group of humans that are not under ‘cultivation’?
A pure strain free from group influence?
Could such a group even exist?
Guessing that transfer knowledge is required for survival and this knowledge will always be slightly corrupted.

I found a spot on my bulletin board for your post.
Thank you.
