As a Keeper, the females pick the males that please them most, I believe. I suppose this could have a bit more room for love.
In a Seeker society though, what happens when a female falls in love with a Tia? It it frowned on or scorned? Even worse, what if they have children together? Are they banished from the tribe, or allowed to stay?
It seems like in either society, since there are far less males, that lesbian relationships may also be quite common. Sure, they use a male to have children, but that may not be whom actually raises them.
Hmm...
I don't got any masters or anything in... anything. But perhaps its a matter of tradition vd outside influence? I mean perhaps the more influential older tribes go by the old ways whilst the younger tribes and newer generations would go about it like what we would look at as the normal, With love and marriage and all that.Â
Think its the same about homosexuality and out of race/clan relations, its frowned upon by the elder tribes whilst its more accepted by the not so old.
While there obviously is influence from the outside, it is still "Possible" that what is said in the first post is still true in some regions.
