But also a very spiritual (i.e., religious) culture where the Emperor was considered divine!
Spiritual in the sense that it was completely fascist (ie personal well-being subservant to a monarch), which shows that secular extremism not only exists, but can cause as much damage as religious extremism.

Did it ever occur to you that homosexuality may be nature's way of telling us that there are too many people on the planet already? If we don't stop breeding like rabbits we're going to die out anyway, from lack of resources.
Not in the slightest. if it's genetic, then it existed in our gene pool long before we became 6 billion strong, and back when we were a mere 5,000 bipedals we needed all the numbers we could muster considering how poorly equipped we are to survive in the wild.

Almost EVERY culture, with few exceptions, have been misogynistic! It has nothing to do with homosexuality. It has everything to do with religious based proscriptions on women.
What's the evidence for that? Maybe societies are historically patriarchal because everytime they encountered a matriarchal one, it was destroyed through conflict. The Celts were historically matriarchal and they were conquered and absorbed by the romans then the saxons then the angols. the south american indigenous tribes were matriarchal and they were nearly exterminated by the spanish and portoguese. the africans tribes are thought to have been matriarchal and they were enslaved and colonized if patriarchal societies tend to be more aggressive and technologically advanced (which would have been enormously beneficial from the beginning of time to 150 years ago), then of course there will be more of them.

Sounds like America before 1970. And it sounds suspiciously like what the Republicans seem to want us to go back to.
you mean that time when women were statistically happier and more satisfied with life before the sexual revolution?
here's an interesting question if religion is so damaging to women? Why is ther enormous evidence that a polygymous society is beneficial to women?
