One Cultural Fact

One fact about the San that I found was interesting was that girls were not allowed to leave their place of isolation. They could leave their shelter, sure, but they knew it wasn't over yet. They couldn't look at men or the sun, for the Sun symbolizes death. The females had to stay in their shelter most of the time and couldn't really do anything while they're waiting for their first period to finish. The thing that makes me wonder is don't they feel lonely, or do they get used to the fact that they have to stay inside the little huts for one week?

Normal girls who don't live in Africa could walk around and be free, and I find it kind of sad that the girls of the San tribe have to be isolated from civilization for about one week.
