If you did not, you were still just a boy. I don't believe such a thing was common to go from girl to woman. Infact, they likely took young women as their wives, which is a whole other topic. Even today in our society, we view men in their 30s as just boys if they haven't done x, y or z. <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:948448690] in Why do you...

Untrue. Quite the opposite infact. If a man is 50 and working at McDonalds many assume he failed his right of passage. There are many more gates for modern men.

Ancient societies mostly sent men out to hunt and if you were bad at it you either died or your people back home starved. Or both.
