Key takeaways so far:
1. Past is bad.
2. Monogamous marriage is the creation of capitalism.
3. Purity culture is eugenics in disguise.
4. Gender is whatever you want it to be and it's always been that way for all of history

Lowkey kind of wish we got a broader look of how marriage was perceived by Puritans outside of this one singular experience. But the chapter about Pueblo culture and sexuality was cool.
