They "reckon descent" by choice since it's legal to use any surname you want.
Definitely not inheritance though. Children of both genders are receiving their inheritance.
- chongli 11y agoYou keep invoking the word "legal" as if it has any relevance in this discussion at all; it doesn't. Patriarchy is a structure largely enforced through social mores, not laws (though there are lots of exceptions, obviously).
- exstudent2 11y agoI continue to use the dictionary definition. Without legal enforcement there is no patriarchy.
- RodericDay 11y agolmao. I guess there's no institutional racism, or homophobia, either?
- exstudent2 11y agoMisogyny is the word you're looking for. That exists, patriarchy doesn't. Just like slavery is illegal but racism exists, gay marriage is legal but homophobia exists, there is no patriarchy but misogyny exists.
- kaybe 11y agoSlavery still exists though, even though it is illegal (not saying anything about western patriarchy).
