Patriarchal?
The father is usually the head of the family in Mexico -- i.e. Mexico is a patriarchal society.
Patriarch - father. Matriarch - mother. Let's give an example: John and Betty are the parents of Mitch Longley. Mitch's patriarchal family consists of family members on his father's side. Mitch's matriarchal family are the family members from his mother's side. In another sense, a patriarchal family is ruled by the father-husband who makes all the decisions and whose authority is not questioned. A matriarchal family is ruled by the mother-wife who makes all the decisions and whose authority is not questioned.
yeah the patriarchal family still exists because men still dominate many aspects of life. but looking at different studies, you can see that it is slowly becoming more uncommon as more women are going into employment. However, the patriarchal family still exists because women are still usually expected to carry out domestic duties and look after children. some people might argue that the patriarchal family doesn't exist because women have equal power to men, just in a different area of life (they dominate the home life). hope that helps and I'm not babbling on :) x
