playing the didgeridoo could cause infertility? say what?

lies.
SYDNEY - Australian girls were warned Wednesday that playing the Australian Aboriginal didgeridoo could lead to infertility as a consequence of messing with "men's business."

Debate about whether women should play the didgeridoo has been sparked by the publication of the Australian edition of "The Daring Book for Girls" which includes instructions on playing the long, tubular instrument.

The section on the didgeridoo was "part of a general ignorance that mainstream Australia has about Aboriginal culture," the association's general manager Mark Rose told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

"We know very clearly that there's a range of consequences for a female touching a didgeridoo - infertility would be the start of it, ranging to other consequences," he said, adding: "I won't even let my daughter touch one."

Rose said the didgeridoo, an integral part of many Aboriginal rituals, was "definitely a men's business ceremonial tool."

Why even write about it? We all know women aren't allowed to read. Probably not smart enough to learn it anyway. AND ITS A DAMN GOOD THING TOO, because reading is man's business.
