Re: dancing boys of afghanistan
they are married now and in 40s and 50s… but the question is what happened to them when were between 18 and 30…that is what u need to ask yourself…
if they are doing it now it is so obvious that they must have started to get involved in these activities long time ago when they were in early teens and when they were not married and were sexually repressed… they get used to boys and now they are still used to them … it is a very common trend…i dont want to go in more detail . ..please explore internet for behavioral issues…
and what do you mean by* “if sexual repression was the reason you would get lots more men in late teens and early twenties indulging in this because they arent married”*…janab this video is only 50 min…they cannot go and talk to every person…they were just videotaping those who are socially strong and married to show the extent of this plague…obviously if married/socially strong men are not afraid of any social backlash and doing all this, it means late teens and men in 20/30s men are involved in these activities as well and it is a pronounced at the societal level…those who are married now and in 40s and 50s were once unmarried and were in 20s and 30s!!! they were doing it then, that is why they are doing it now…common sense!
have you ever lived in rural areas or in NWFP or any place like this?
plus i am really surprised that how come all those who watched the video are not bringing up the most important point..and the point is that whenever interviewer asked the families of those boys if they have problem with it, all of them said it is OK…but we still keep on claiming that this trend is not pronounced at the societal level in those societies and that these are just some isolated incidences by some evil men…nice!
