in theory, in actuality as a woman in this culture, even if not consciously so, I was trained to let men have the last word, dad sure did with his anger even though mom had a masters degree in STEM, not an unaccomplished woman. So I don't view the restrictions as really being the same in a patriarchal culture.Men face the same restrictions.
This is all probably really off topic,so I'm not going to continue the debate just for lols, and feel free to get back to the original topic, I was just ranting on "life is hard and lonely" and stuff. :P rant rant rant, because life is hard and stuff ...
