@Catvalente
Yes exactly.
Patriarchy, papacy, marriage and ‘head of household.’ This all comes from the tradition that women are property owned by men. Many traditions are worldwide, but in almost all of them marriage was a property exchange.

@marnanel @Woodswalked @Catvalente ONLY men getting to define what is ethical and what is not isn't somehow …relevant? I don't mean to sound snarky, but the connections are completely there. It's the preservation of males in charge, even if they don't personally marry.
