They were also responsible for the agriculture and government. It's modern America where you find this "woman's place is in the home" nonsense. Look to Socialist Scandinavia and New Old Europe for actual equality.

Fair enough. Then how does one account for the absence of lesbianism in the laws and the records? I'm not disputing, but the question remains unanswered. And I guess we still have no idea why some guy was buried in a woman's clothing. ???

You're assuming that the men themselves didn't gossip or the men didn't have orgies or men didn't have menage a trois where servants/slaves were present or that they didn't get angry or jealous with one another and 'out' each other in public.

Yep. I'm assuming that men will be honorable. Those that kiss and tell do not deserve to be kissed at all.

It's okay to bottom so long as you lie about it? And this is somehow honorable?

So honor is defined as dishonesty. What a load of horseshit, and how Orwellian.
Androphila = homophobia and sexism.
Androphilia = dishonesty.
Androphila = silly little boys who think being a man is all about appearances and not substance.

it's all been said by the press reviews of Jack Donovan's 'manifesto.' That new male pride the Androphiliac crowing about? it's called the closet.
