Hello, pool. Thanks for your response. I'm actually confused about something.
In the household, do the mothers only lack power on paper (formal power)? Do they actually have a considerable amount of informal power? Also, does age play a factor in how women and men are treated in your society?
Thanks for answering my questions, sir. I've appreciated your responses and have enjoyed reading them. It is my hope that we can keep this dialog civil and inquisitive.

Mothers are however tough with the girls but fathers always intervene to save the precious thing. Mothers seem to prefer their boys but since a mother doesn't have much power in a family structure the boys are left with shit. The only way to remove this imbalance would be to somehow destroy the family unit but then a society would go to shit, so as boys living in a patriarchy we're pretty much stuck with being treated like shit.
