“Numerosity and Ordinality Numerosity refers to the ability to quickly and accurately determine the number of items in a set without counting. Within the first week of life, infants are able to discriminate between visual arrays containing two versus three (and sometimes four) items (e.g., Starkey, Spelke, & Gelman, 1990). Infants can even make numerosity judgments between two different sensory modalities. For example, 6- and 9-month-old infants were shown arrays of two or three objects and simultaneously heard two or three drum beats. Infants looked significantly longer at the visual display that corresponded to the auditory pattern they heard (Starkey, Spelke, & Gelman, 1983, 1990).”
I am surprised, but apparently not. Surprisingly few synonyms, and all of them have “patriarch~~” inside of them, except one: “fatherly”, but it does not have anything to do with politics.
Other, farther synonyms, have nothing to do with gender (and Twi finds a world without female rule a fascinating hypothetical scenario, hence such a focus on a political system with a root word “patre~~”).
(However this lack-of-answer was from a quick google search. No idea what would turn up if I spent more time looking for it, and if other synonym would be as obviously male-focused as patriarchy.)
It was good, but the thing about patriarchy rubs me the wrong way.
Is there no other word that means the same thing but isn’t used by extremely horrible people?
That really doesn’t help anything.
I don’t really get what the post was getting at
And you still did not specify what confuses you so I can answer. :P

No consequences other than making one of my colleagues hate Magic Missle.
Anything specific? Maybe I can help.
What were the consequences of the secret’s reveal?
