@some_feminist @gm_palmer @benshapiro This is from Lancy’s study guide, a summary of his excellent book. Anyone making claims of “all humans do X” should familiarize themselves with such cross-cultural analyses (but please do not make the naturalistic fallacy when considering these truths). – fuente
