Howdy sir pinoy.viajero! I agree, it sounds totally bizarre in this day and age. Are the women there treated fairly equally?

Absolutely yes. Also, in the olden days, some societies are matriarchal. I believe there are still families in my country that are ruled by the matriarchs. 😊

Very good sir pinoy.viajero. Yes, that makes sense, thank you!
