It’s not but I could argue and completely back up the fact that the homosexually latent European misogynistic culture that got funneled down through the Judeo-Christian influence is one of the most psychologically fukked ways of understanding harmony between the genders in both the old and new world. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t romanticize pre-colonial cultures prior to European influence, but their superimposition of rigid Victorian pearl-clutching Madonna/whore bullshyt made whatever issues indigenous cultures and civilizations were going through 100x worse.
Do you know there were literal accounts from Europeans themselves talking about how harmonious shyt was between Native American men and women prior to their influence. That the Natives were evil and backwards b/c they didn’t consolidate power in the hands of one gender and had healthy sexual relationships unconstrained by religious shame. That in these communities everyone took care of children not worrying about whose seed was whose.
Did you know part of the plight of women in the Middle East came from Western interference in those communities?
Or that Europeans were mad that they had to go through both African kings AND queens to steal land from African kingdoms because precolonial kingdoms had healthy understandings of how to maintain patriarchal constructs without having to fukk over women.
The concept of prostitution wasn’t even a thing prior to Western religious influences in a number of cultures.
And now evolutionary biologists are finding that our ancient ancestors were largely egalitarian for the majority of the existence of humanity.
Them mofos from the Caucus mountains fukked a lotta shyt up because their environments were harsh. Instead of taking their fukkery as the be all end all, we need to think in healthier ways when it comes to human sexuality.
Confront the past to contextualize and make sense of the present. Until we do so, we as a world will be stuck in this fukked up cycle of dysfunction. And being black in this fukked up cycle just exacerbates it b/c we get dumb ass color coded engendered ideas from the West too.
