Males Mere Drones in Eyes of Sumatra Tribe
Dr. B M Loeb of the University of California studied two Sumatra tribes the Manangkabaus and the Bataks to compare male and female social roles. Manangkabaus rely on women who rent husbands and do all work while men are idle. Bataks reverse with men as masters and women as slaves. The study notes that social ideas arise from both ancestry and present influence, not just local development.
