Steam Powered Frisbee 🥏<p>I'm reading a history of sex and Christianity, and the section on 1800s imperialism makes a simple point that had never occurred to me. </p><p>Most sub-Saharan African families were polygynous. In order to "civilize" Africans into monogamous marriage, White missionaries found themselves promoting divorce. Divorce was plainly against Christian teaching; and during that same time, being restricted back home in Europe. Not to mention the change caused suffering for newly abandoned wives and children. Some missionaries publicly argued that enforcing monogamy did more harm than good.</p><p><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/lower-than-the-angels-a-history-of-sex-and-christianity-diarmaid-macculloch/21650445" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bookshop.org/p/books/lower-tha</span><span class="invisible">n-the-angels-a-history-of-sex-and-christianity-diarmaid-macculloch/21650445</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/africanhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>africanhistory</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>christianity</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/culturalhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>culturalhistory</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/monogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>monogamy</span></a></p>
