I read it in Everyday Utopia. A totally worthwhile book that includes discussions about alternatives to the nuclear family we are so accustomed to. I didn’t find this exact example but in general, hunter gatherers have a much broader sense of heritage and family than we have. That’s why it’s so stupid when people claim they only care about their own family. Well, if you meet someone whose mother’s father had the same totem animal as one of your caregiving adults who joined your group late in life, you might not share a language with this someone, but you are family. And once you live long enough in a group, you become family anyway.

Some cultures trace heritage both patrilineal and matrilineal, so taking the first last name of your father as your first and the second last name of your mother as your second would be that.

So it’s the mother’s father’s name, or the names of both grandfathers. Still patrilineal

I donno but this sounds like something the devil would say

What you are saying is that private property laid the basis for patriarchy and (much later) for capitalism

Which feminists are you even referring to exactly? There are different waves of feminism and different strands (like liberal feminism, marxist feminism, black feminism, …). Either you picked a few straw(wo)men who have a shitty definition or you are confused by the variety of definitions and approaches and that confuses you.

my instance doesn’t show downvotes, so all I see is that you have lots of upvotes 😊
In that case: the majority is still upvotes so I’m not complaining or anything :)

Is the latter your mother’s first or second last name?
- Comment on I never realized this 4 weeks ago:
An aspect of patriarchy is patrilineality. Belonging to your fathers lineage rather than your mother’s or even being stripped of your heritage and being a mere adjunct to your husband isn’t materially benefiting the man but lays the ground for that

Except that it’s older than that, even in Europe, there was quite some time between the Black Plague and capitalism. But they originate in China where they are much older. Sure, capitalism is composed of many aspects and maybe China had some aspect associated with capitalism back than as well and I’m not too sure about the connection between Europe and China regarding last names. I donno.
- Comment on I never realized this 4 weeks ago:
Maybe all my downvotes come from people who say it’s the latter? I’ve been in bubbles that see it as a well known fact, I’ve talked to left leaning people who didn’t. Maybe it’s just a wording I used to attract attention, maybe not, we will never know for sure.

Unpopular opinion: Last names are inherently patriarchal and so is marriage

For those curious: it’s just an illusion. In reality, Kennedy is alive and well.

The meme is about US imperialism versus (supposedly) Chinese imperialism. And the election is over, not every meme is about that anymore.

Once you talk about “both teams”, you imply there are only two instead of supporting those who to this day resist all states
