I was just thinking about this yesterday. Blogit being like a cult.

at least we can come and go, eh?

I second your motion -- for a place with women in charge...

I doubt so many young sons would become fodder for the war machine if Moms and Grandmas were negotiating borders and trade agreements.  And they might put their foot down about illegal drug trafficking and the school dropout rates, too.

I saw a documentary on a tribe in Kenya (not the Massai but somehow related to them) where indeed women are the boss. They run the show, men have to do as they say. Great isn't it?

auslander, the difference is that in a cult, brainwashing techniques occur

as well as isolation...in balanced religion, there is no sense of pressure, but more of a sense of reaching out and of community...

Never heard of the tribes you talk about...interesting!

I hang out a bit with escapees and those banished against their will.  I find them just people, people worth knowing and loving and keeping in touch, people who have gone on to write and post where they are.

There used to be an African people where the women were in charge

and had many men. There were also a bit bigger than their men. And there are still some villages in the Himalayas where women have two husbands (it's a land issue in this case). But, cults? No, I don't know of any.  The line between cult and religion is a very fine one.
