Family, Dating, & Sex
Views around sexuality and partner finding seem to be what get hard cultures in the most hot water within our modern cultural context. Many hard culture stances vis-a-vis LGBT viewpoints, for example, are highly intolerant, and there is widespread modern discomfort with hard cultural partner matching practices (how early people marry, how much influence an individual’s parents have, arranged marriages, dowries, etc.). At the same time, modern society has utterly failed to help people establish and maintain secure, loving, long-term relationships.
Is there a way to marry the stable birth rates of hard cultures with the egalitarian perspective of modern society?
