Head of the family?

[ZeycanTin1234]

Do you belive that the Man is the head of the family or do you believe it is patriacrchy

[Guy13]

Okay. By definition, Patriarchy is a social system where the father or male is head of the household. Likewise the Matriarchal design is a social system where the Mother or female is head of household. The truth is people get lost in the theoretical considerations and never recognize the practicality of it all. And the fact is most of these types are not married and/or have grudges against the other Sex.

Practically, adults are able to figure it out and children, within reason, are too be disciplined and controlled by both parents. Usually, one partner makes more money and bears that responsibility another the household etc. Most of the time it is shared. Thought, Consideration, Negotiation, and a clear understanding between Parties WHEN DATING is paramount. Make sense?

The most stable systems are those based on equality. When one feels a need to be above others, then others are pushed down and minimized. Frequently, I've heard people say they need to win all the time. When I respond with "then you want to spend the rest of your life surrounded by losers," they deny that. How can we win all the time if others don't lose? It's not about feeling entitled to a larger piece of the pie; it's about working together as a team to add to the lives of all participants, while enhancing the unit as a whole. Without women giving permission, men can't be in charge... so who's got the control?

What does it mean to be head of the family? Is he going to disrespect me or not value my input? What would I have to do whilst being his subordinate? Most importantly, what do I get from this arrangement that I cannot get with a more equal relationship?

[Agape93]

Nope. I'm not above my partner nor will I allow them to be above me.

I don't believe that if a family has the man as it's head that that's patriarchy. BUT... it needs to be a discussion and a choice in the house if in fact there is a head. In our house, we make decisions together. In rare cases when my wife and I disagree about a course of action, one of us tells the other that the final decision is theirs and we will respect and support that outcome.

I believe female flowers grow in place while the males spread their pollen all over. There is genetic difference that cannot be hacked in any way.

If you act like a man, don't be surprised when the masculine behavior causes you sex hormones imbalance and health problems.

The same way men acting feminine attain nothong but feminine bodies, weakness, and generally poor health as a result of that.
