Bringing the Aztec empire up to date with the women’s movement? Some of the feminists at the time would have wanted the official to be a woman and the victim to be a man.
Thing is, though, as I have been give to understand, the ritual sacrifice was, at least on some occasions, considered to be a huge honour for the 'victim', as it conferred benefits in the afterlife!
It's one example, at least, of the 'bestiality' of the 'savage' tribes being illustrated out of context!
