Were The Mongols an Exception?

The Mongols were an exception to all social rules (1). This was because of their reputation around the world. This allows them to go against the rules because everyone is afraid of them. So, know one would have confronted them because they know what they are able to do.

These will be referenced by numbers (these numbers will be referenced as (1) or (2).

Since everyone was terrified, no one confronted the Mongols unless they had to. They were scared of every single Mongol. The one they were most afraid of was Genghis Khan (3). He was the leader of the Mongols (1). So, of course he would be the most feared out of the group. This again allows them to bend the rules and become an exception to rules of society. Since Genghis Khan had a hard time trying to survive during his childhood (3), could have supported him being feared by all. Since he did have a rough childhood (4), this may also be the reason that he doesn't make the Mongol children attend school. Since he had a rough childhood, it could have had an impact on the decisions he made for the Mongol civilization. This could have made him and his civilization feared by all, making them an exception to the rules of society. This could have made him want to conquer all the land (2). This could also have been caused by his father kidnapping his mother and forcing her into marriage (2). He may have been following in a path created by his father.

The Mongols were a lot more fair than other civilizations were at their time. Males and females were treated equally (4). Which was really good because they needed that support. Yes the men went and fought in the wars, which happened often because of all the conquering. But all the women need to know how to do all the men jobs while they are away, so they became everyone's jobs. This differed from many other civilizations at that time because they did not see women as equals. They were always the under dogs, including in America until 1920. This also means they were way ahead of their time with equality. But not in conquering. Conquering was not common in this time. Mostly because they were afraid they were conquering the Mongols land. They were one to be feared and everyone knew it.
