    I don't think that was a Greek invention either. I'd imagine men have been telling women that only men get to make the big decisions for as long as language has existed.

    The Greeks invented a form of democracy that they could rationalize co-existing with slavery.

    "patriarchy too" was for the second part ☞

    ❎ the Greeks invented patriarchy
    ✅ they could rationalize co-existing with patriarchy
