Chapter 7: Formal Sex Relations
Summary
In this chapter Mead describes how young girls have evolved their sexual actions and how the boys seek sex from the girls. She explains how woman cannot be seen as a higher role than man. A girl's virginity is considered an attraction.
Discussion
Given that there are rules for everything, I was surprised when I read this chapter. It would seem to me that Samoans would be more conservative. The idea of woman not having a higher role than man is still a similar idea to the Hispanic culture so its interesting to read about.
