    Doesn’t this also result in archaeologists saying everything was for spiritual reasons or that we don’t know what it was for? Like sure, I don’t know exactly how it was used but I can take a pretty good guess! This isn’t even limited to dildos either.

      One of my favorite stories about this was from an archeological investigation in housing where they found several homes where knives had been stored in the rafters of the house and all of the men in charge we debating on the religious explanations about how weapons and knives would have had to have been reveared to have been stored so high in the home. One of the female grad students walked in and looked at them all like they were idiots and said it was to keep them away from the children. There are no records of what the men had said in reaction.
