[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] <<Most of y'all just simply would not understand polygyny, less lone racial polygyny. Djehuti, is this alien to the common man Pinoy family structures before the Spanish? Are there families with some Tisoy 1/2 siblings? Does this make all Pinoy suspect Tisoy?>> This is all dependent on the cultural dynamics of power and legitimacy. There is a difference between slave concubines and free concubines and especially those who may be of high status as the Greek texts seem to imply that the women in the Ptolemy harem were not common. And then there is also the possibility of full wife status as I pointed out the Diadochi did marry native women to establish their power. I don't see what made Soter any different and judging by the book you cited by Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan, he wasn't since he married a royal princess called Hadra. Cleo's half-sister Arsinoe showed mixed African ancestry yet she was legitimate enough to have the royal title of princess. And yes, as a Pinoy I do understand because of Spanish colonization. Many a Spanish conquistador or Don had both native Filipina wives as well as concubines. Traditional Catholic and Orthodox Christianity while not accepting polygamy did tolerate concubinage though still viewing it as unseemly. How else do you explain the Mestizo class in the Philippines though not quite as large as that in Latin America for the obvious reason that the Spanish colonial presence wasn't as great in the Philippines as in the Americas. [/qb][/QUOTE]. Multi-tasking Be back atcha in a bit & thx 4 an interesting and enlightening exchange but then what else to expect? You get choice not chance at a DJ Djehuti ES dance [IMG]http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/icons/icon14.gif[/IMG] OK now the back atcha I was hoping for insight on sexual sociology like Magindanao taking Mandaya as sex slaves, admittedly a Muslim practice. Looking for the practical more than the theoretical. Perhaps confusion on my part stems from not knowing the birth of Pinoy identity. When did national consciousness embrace the multitude Philippine Is tribes and ethnic groups. Are any indigenees excluded from it. Does the Pinoy Tisoy distinction only hold for diaspora? What defines a Tisoy? Totally foreign admixture or loss of culture or ??? [/QB][/QUOTE]
