  1. Who in the world knew that only 25 men were allowed in an south Indian tribe!
  2. I cannot believe that there wasn't any girl leaders in the tribes.
  3. I think that it is very feminist that the women were still supposed to stay home and grow the crops all year round.
  4. Aren't women just as equal as men I think so a women can do anything a man can do.
  5. It angers me that there are mainly historical landmarks on the south Asian land of mainly men. 4questions
  6. why were men treated with higher respect than the males?
  7. Aren't the women worth more than just planting crops?

  9. Did they want the women to feel inferior next to men?
