	Intersections Review: Shanshan Du, Chopsticks only work in Pairs: Gender Unity and Gender Equality among the Lahu of ...
		Lahu gender ideology is founded in an all pervasive belief in dyadic unity which has its beginning in a dyadic Creator (Xeul Sha) who embodies both male and female, from whom all things emanate, and humanity itself is descended.

		Lahu kinship is bilateral, and married couples reside with one set of parents and then with the other, for a period of three years each, before settling next to either set, according to economic and personal needs and wishes.
