"I'm Every Woman, It's All in Meeeeee!"

I think the best thing I read this week was the modern day Paleolithic woman's interview, specifically when she spoke about taking on multiple lovers when she was married. I think that is exactly how people should live today. I completely believe that a human may find that one person they will completely fall in love with, and want to keep around all your life; but, I believe a human should have the option to experiment and feel out other lovers as well. I believe that keeps the first lover, number one, and at a healthy level for relationships. Having many lovers in addition to your husband, or main main lover, benefits more than just the sexual desires and experimental side of the wife, but at these times, also the hunting and gathering portion. Having multiple men bring and hunt things for you, is awesome. I can't even get a guy to give me a single rose, let alone a whole carabao! I loved reading about these early people earlier in the chapter as is, but the firsthand account really brought it home for me. How free she could even speak during the interview was so refreshing. Most people --ignorant people-- think that people who are not "civilized" are also very behind the times, but from this chapter, and interview, it is obviously the opposite. Maybe these people are behind the times when it comes to technology, but they are vastly ahead of a lot of us when it comes to equality and status. Many parts of the US still do not seem to understand these VERY basic principles...sad.
