mods were going through a pretty rough patch around the late 16th century or so. things got a little out of hand.

e: while "progress" is a fragile historical narrative at best, advances in technology and changes in social patterns now allow, and in fact often require, us to tell someone to shut the gently caress up in order to prevent, rather than cause, permanent psychological damage.

It's a throwback to medieval/early modern european peasant morality. In rural France, if a husband was 'henpecked' eventually the whole community would gather around their house and harass them until he beat his wife.

Patriarchy does and always has required incredible and ugly social pressure to maintain.

Well, this was the rural midwest in the 80's. There was also the guy that basically the entire area ran out of town. I don't know what he did (this all happened when I was 7 or 8, so I only kind of remember and am going by rumor and retellings here). Basically the entire town shunned him and there was lots of vandalism done to his place. Eventually the local volunteer firefighters went up there (according to rumor) and told him that they wouldn't fight any fires that happened on his property. Funnily enough his barn burned down a week or two later. He moved out and put the place up for sale the following week.

To this day I don't really know what he did, if anything. Rumor was that he'd done something to one of the farmer's daughters and I do remember one of my classmates missing school for a few weeks, but no idea if that's an actual memory or one that I'm just connecting in my own head. I asked my parents about it at the time, but all they knew was that he had hurt someone and that they weren't involved with any of it. I asked them not too long ago as well and they said they don't remember it happening that way at all, so who knows.

There's all sorts of hosed up small town stories I've got from my childhood. poo poo was weird before there was internet and you were living in a tiny farming community of less than 200 people and about 25 miles from the nearest anything. Growing up I, 100% earnestly, skipped rocks with my friends down by the crick as entertainment.
