#4 Democrat women seem to be doing this as well. Or at least encouraging other women to do it.

#5 Don't know, ever see those shows where the two guys go live with the locals...those gals are tough; to the point I wondered if the guys were going to war just to get away for a few weeks vacation.

#6 The New Guinea Highlands has been awash with tribal war since forever- it got to the stage where Government clinics were forbidden to treat arrow wounds. And nothing else ever gets done- the men are obsessed with trying to kill each other. Don't know if this infanticide story is true, or something to try and shock the men into waking up.

#7 This reminded me of another battle of the sexes. I think it was a village of Turks that the women were fed up with no indoor plumbing and denied the males sex until they got water pumps so they wouldn't have to haul it any more! I guess you can't just say no when the aggressive males apparently are testosterone-charged but killing their own babies? Too bad this kind of feminine persuasion doesn't catch on in Muzzie countries.
