“The rebels say the men come to them willingly. They protect the men with the same fierceness we would, but they do not make them suffer. The beaded ones claim men are intelligent and can help run the society. Men are powerful in their own way and they do not need to be sequestered away.”

The conversation went round and round. I learned that there had been many girls born to the rebels. Several sons had been brought to gatherings to pair them with their families. The rebels were certainly breeding.

A woman that could breed sons must not be wasted, even if she did steal men. In addition, the stolen men must still be alive to have created offspring. Killing their captors would surely result in their death.

They would have to meet and decide how to deal with these women. For now, women like Tosu would speak to the beaded ones and perhaps persuade them to give back the taken men. This was certainly a time for negotiation and not brute force.
