"I've never personally visited Linnip, you understand, but the world history curriculum word on it is that after they kicked out the Ertydoan colonists a couple hundred years ago they mass-converted to Aleism, now a moderately popular world religion, and Aleism is remarkably sexist. It's moderated where it's found in other countries, but in Linnip it's the state religion and accordingly they don't send boys to school or let them do much without supervision from their mothers or sisters or wives."
