Men are from Venus, Women are from Mars...

“Stick to traditional roles,” say the Tchambuli of Papua New Guinea. Men should do what they do best: dance, paint, play the flute. In their villages along Chambri Lake, rich in rare birds and infested with crocodiles, Tchambuli women know what they want—and go after it. They are the sexual aggressor and they decide whom they’ll mate.

To entice the women, Tchambuli men compete constantly, trying out new hairdos and decorating themselves with flowers and ornaments. At Tchambuli festivals, young men dress up as women so they can join in the raunchy homosexual dancing and sex play women enjoy at every festival.

The Tchambuli women are busy with “women’s work.” They shave their heads and hunt.
