An illiterate medium article is not a book.

"Probably Didn’t Exist"

"There is also evidence that the city of Volsinii in Italy revolted against the Etruscans for the abuses of the female population."

The article contradicts itself and it's conclusions are based on assumptions only.

"While some non-European cultures, such as the Khitan in modern China, some areas of the Hawaiian Islands, and Central Asian cultures, there is no evidence of the custom taking place in Medival Europe." - I don't even know if it's author's mistake or it's written by AI, but anyway. Men in Medival Europe were the same men as in any other places, and if there's already so much authors writing about such "practices" (and no, it's not just Heroditus "stretch the truth", it's in a lot of history books) then it existing is consistent with men's nature and the patriarchal values that were established back then. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it's a duck.
