[DT] Many scholars differentiate between endogamous and exogamous tribes. But Morgan has shown that Endogamy and Exogamy are only two different stages, that in the course of evolution every human tribe has passed through the endogamous and exogamous stages. The Bible knows yet the exogamous stage. “Therefore, shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife” (Genesis ii, 24). This shows that exogamy lasted into the stage of the pairing family. In the patriarchic family of the Bible, it is the woman who leaves her clan and joins that of her husband. The same is the case among the Homeric Greeks (Ilias vi, 29). [DU] Homer often describes such gifts. Meleager is offered by the Aetolians fifty acres of land, if he agreed to fight the Kouretes (Ilias ix, 578). [DV] The transition from the matriarchate to the patriarchate has been dramatized in the Orestea of Aeschylus. Apollo proclaims: “Not is the mother the child’s progenitor. “She shelters and carries only the awakened life. “The father begets, she only preserves him the pledge.” The Erinnyes thereupon lament: “Thus thou sinkest, the gods’ ancient epoch.” [DW] For this reason polygamy even in the countries where it was theoretically allowed was very rarely actually met with. Throughout the entire history of the polygamous Jews only about half a dozen polygamous marriages are recorded. Tacitus found among the Teutons only a few nobles to possess concubines besides their wives. [DX] “It is, indeed,” says Hartmann, “her own bed which the immoral wife besmirches. While the husband misconducts himself outside the family circle, the iniquity of the woman is bound to effect a change in the home.” Even the unchastity of the single woman has far more serious biological consequences than that of the man. Her transgression creates a perfect blood chaos in her future offspring. Long after a man’s death a woman sometimes bears children to another man, who resemble the first. The absorbed sperma seems to leave an indelible impression upon the woman. [DY] The masculine morality is as yet very little influenced by reason. Hence the male standard of morality of sex is as yet very low. So much so that with meretricious venery rampant, male monogamy is as yet a dream of the idealist. Yet there is a valid reason why the man should not be inferior to woman in the standard of chastity. If there was no racial reason for his chastity in ancient times, there is a good reason for him to be chaste now. [DZ] The man, says Schopenhauer, can beget a hundred children annually if he had so many wives, hence he is looking for many; the woman can only beget one child and is hence always desirous to preserve the supporter of her offspring. [EA] Female coyness is found in many animals where it serves to increase the tumescence of the male. Animal coyness is especially developed during pregnancy when no animal admits the male any longer.
