Kane, I sometimes question your IQ levels. Are so you removed from history and reality? Or are you a troll? Iranian, Arab and Indian merchants have been in the city for at least 700 yrs. Do you think that in medieval Somalia patriarchy wasnβt a thing? Do you think these Somali women of old who married these traders did so out of βloveβ? This is what extreme gender politics and redpill leads to, mindless garbage thatβs ahistorical to the point of embarrassment.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

Let me enrage you even more, during the time of Burton, non Somali Harari leaders would often take on a Somali first wife and it would always be arranged by her powerful Ugaas fathers who wanted a strong political alliance. Itβs the same for interior clans giving their daughters to these Arab merchants-it was based on politics and money and the βfeelingsβ of the women married off wasnβt part of the equation.
Marrying out of oneβs group for politics and alliances is an old arrangement common in the medieval period.
This has nothing to do with the women, but the patriarchs. These arrangements were the very definition of patriarchy.
