This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When you phrase it that way sounds like it could have been a trade too. Trade your daughter for another's daughter to marry your son.

This is what it has to be, it doesn't make sense any other way.

If there was a fight over reproductive opportunities, and this valley's men took the women of another valley, there would be a mix; some from the locals, some from the other tribe.

If there was a fight over reproductive opportunities and this valley's men lost, there'd be no adult women at all.

If there was a fight for some other reason, you would assume that either a) everyone dies, or b) some mix of men and women died leaving a mix of men and women, all of whom would be locals.

The only way this works is if there's no fight; the men traded with another tribe's men.

Almost all humans have traditions that stemmed from a “inter village fuck festival”
