... and you are being deliberately dense. I have already explained the difference in the historical setting and that is has to do with societal acceptance of one over the other. It not the act of reproducing that gets it defined as a bisexual society but the whether the society requires them to marry and have families anyway. Societies that accept bisexual behavior but not
exclusive homosexual relationships don't follow the historical progression because of their attitudes toward
whole family units. Societies that no long care about the family unit AND promotes exclusive homosexual relationships do.
(
bisexuality - Definitions from Dictionary.com One of the accepted definitions of bisexuality IS having sexual relations with both and not just whether you are attracted to them.
Historically it always has been.)
The historical standard is that this reflection of a weak family unit in return shows a weak society that is then ripe for disaster. It is not the relationships themselves that causes the society to fall it is the weak society which it reflects that will fall easily from any disruption be it internal, external, or natural. So any society that has a weak family unit but accepts exclusive homosexual or any other type of relation then the traditional family as desirable and normal is ripe for a fall.
It is one of several signs of which I mentioned earlier. Considering that another one of the signs is excessive societal consumption of addictive substances I would say your article is utterly worthless on the subject and nothing more then a "zero population" promotion piece.
Now, I am getting tired of repeating myself and am done doing so. Go ask a
world historian.

I wonder if it would work out... Many feminist organisations collapsed pretty fast. The power of nature and instincts is probably hard to repress. |
If I could tell you the number of fiction books written on just that premise.
