Mosuo

In another post designed to stem the growing tide of xenophobia in America, a link to a great video about the Mosuo people of Tibet. A matriarchal, matrilineal society that practices an interesting system of "walking marriage". The full 20 minute video is very good. It is a little sad to see what is happening to the society now that the Chinese government has made them a tourist attraction. Enjoy!
