To be entirely fair here, if we discovered a previously unknown society in a forest somewhere would we not respect their culture, though different from ours it would surely be?
Perhaps in the aisles of Walmart a culture has developed which we just don't understand? Or maybe it grew in the trailer park down the road and we only occasionally get a glimpse? As if WalMart was their hunting ground or something?
Think about it. If you were studying the Neanderthal and found out it was mostly a Matriarchal society whereas the females ruled the camps and the males were off doing whatever males do? (In fact let me add I've read research where it was speculated the males likely had several camps that they considered home, and several breeding partners.) Ok than, would you be aghast at a cave painting depicting two females fighting in a patch of Aloe Vera?
Doesn't it lend itself to reason that a subculture of our own could rise up in our economically diverse lands? So why should we be shocked or dismayed when two adult females clash in a dispute over gathering rights and territory?
Personally I think a full blown, expensive study should be made of this subculture. For as our economy becomes more and more that of a few haves and many have-nots, we need to know what to expect from our new neighbors. How to approach them, trade goods. You know, how to live with them among us and not end up with a King Size bottle of Orange Scented Suave Conditioner stuck in our rectum or windpipe!
As to the child...there is my point in a pint sized package. They breed!
