The Perblocked-O Hypothesis

Eskimo society is worse than mine. There is no privacy, after all, Iglus have no walls. Nobody ever gets a moment alone, except on hunting trips. Any Eskimo who makes a mistake or just fails to conform will be the butt of everyone's barbs until they die - often of suicide. The closest folks come to admitting an exception to this rule is that a wife may sometimes smile when her husband arrives home from a week long hunt. But they mock each other's failures all the time, forever.
