Talk:alyha

More information on alyha, from Serena Nanda, Gender Diversity: Crosscultural Variations (→ISBN, 1999), page 22: "Alyha were also particularly sensitive to sexual joking, and if they were teased in the same way as women they responded with assaults on those who teased them. Because they were very strong, people usually avoided angering them. Alyha were considered highly industrious and much better housewives than were young girls. It is partly for this reason that they had no difficulty finding spouses, and alyha generally had husbands. […] Alyha were said to be generally peaceful persons, except when teased, and were also considered to be cowards. […] In general, alyha were not teased or ridiculed for being alyha (though their husbands were teased for marrying them), because it was believed that they could not help it and that a child's inclinations in this direction could not be resisted." - -sche (discuss) 16:07, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
