It’s literally the definition of patriarchy. It’s training for young women to grow up looking for a man to validate them, to doubt their own judgement, and get used to men being able to veto their wants and desires.
The fact that you continue to pretend you don’t understand that I was asking for clarification, regarding your statement (and, instead was asking you to define a fifth-grade vocabulary word) is the very model of willfully dense.
You’re wrong, James Olchak, in your last comment: Lars Fosdal wasn’t being wilfully obtuse (at least not anymore at that point); he was accusing you of being so, for (at least ostensibly) not getting his first reply to you. AFAICS, that makes you — at least intellectually — the “dipswitch” in this exchange.
At least this particular sub-discussion on “matriarch”, that is. In the larger context, Lars Fosdal and everyone else should of course realise that James Olchak is perfectly correct that “jokes” like this are a prime example of patriarchy, and uncritically spreading — and when called out on it, like here, even defending — them only tends to perpetuate it. So in the larger context, you’re all being “dipswitches” too. Please stop that.
my husband subscribes to this idea… LOL
Because female sexuality is owned by a man, forever. Get used to being controlled while you’re young, girls!
Patriarchy is poison.
Overprotective dads are not necessarily patriarchs, though – just overprotective.
“We know what’s best for you, young lady.”

James Olchak No…we just know what every young man is thinking…even when he is not thinking. 😉
“It’s for your own protection, little lady! Those boys can’t control themselves.”
Sounds familiar.
James Olchak That’s a matriarch.
What the hell are you on about, Lars Fosdal? What’s a matriarch?
James Olchak Google it.
Dim bulb, I’m asking what you’re referring to, what the sentence you typed was a response to. I’m not asking for a definition.
The sentence in your comment could just as well come from a matriarch. Also, don’t be a dick.
So, do the dads shoot the first daughters or is it the first dad that gets shot first? This sign isn’t terribly clear.
Well, don’t be willfully dense.
Protip: Women who support the subjugation of women by men are supporting patriarchal thinking.
Willfully dense like in “What’s a matriarch”? Do you have kids? Or, specifically, a daughter?
This thread descended from a joke to chaos veryyyy quickly

So, like that, dipswitch.

Life is too short. Bye, bye, Mr. Olchak.

God, am I glad that I don’t have any daughters.
Teenage girls are just as horny as teenage boys ,if not more…
What’s with those parents who let there 13 year old daughter’s ware sluty clothes ? It’s ridiculous.
