Greetings.
This is a branch off the post "WHO BROUGHT IN THE DOWNPRESSION OF WOMAN PRINCIPLE."
Since it has been mentioned that nomadic peoples seem to have a tendency toward a more patriarchal type of cultural organization - I would like this thread to address what people know about indigenous African groups who are nomadic. Do these groups also tend to reflect the patriarchal model of organization?
The reason I ask is because there seems to be a tendency for ones to conclude that patriachy is due to outside influences coming into Africa from elsewhere. I feel if we got more information on these indigenous nomadic groups in Africa, we may be able to see how patriarchy may also be an indigenous form in Africa as well.
Hopefully this reasoning will be edifying to all.
In all respect.
Bless and guidance.
