Sorry I haven't been as active on miiverse. I'm still recovering from the injury I mentioned some time ago. Anyway who wants to hear more about Africa? Fun fact: The Baule people don't have any negative association with darkness. To them nighttime/darkness is a time of imagination, memory, relaxation, and even socialization. Take that cliche Light vs Darkness trope lol.

  • You're still recovering from injury? Hmmm...I hope the recovery process speeds up. Anyway I'm not terribly knowledgable of foreign cultures so by all means feel free to share what you have learned.

  • Well I just got a new type of medicine so hopefully that'll help. Anyway in the book I'm currently reading about the Baule I can't help but notice the strange fact that despite their society being matrilineal, giving much respect and power to women yet at the same time their are aspects to the society that we in the west would consider oposed to women's rights.

  • The society/faith has different rules for men and women. For example women cook but only men can kill animals. But in at least one exception I read of a Baule man who does cook whereas I heard of no exception for women to hunt. Also The men have gods which women and children can't see but the women also have gods that the men can't see.

  • Well I finished that book and it seems like there might have been an exception for the women to sacrifice animals like the men do. Though that was cause of some strife in the community especially after a man knocked down the women's shrine where they did the sacrifices.

  • Ultimately after a couple of years the women seem to win that argument because there gods are considered more powerful than the men's.
