She never heard from her family in Japan again. It was sad. She was shocked when my siblings and I started learning Japanese and she was able to understand us. She was so happy to teach us.

The movement to singular inheritance is also where the practice of "adult adoption" came from. If a family had only daughters (or nothing but feckless sons), they would "adopt" a likely outsider and marry him to one of the daughters, and he would take their family name.

[@nunyabiznes33]

Yeah, I guess eventually the medieval societies would move on to single inheritance because there's no new land being made. I live in the Philippines where the modern law ensured equal inheritances for the children. A documentary I saw blame this as one of the reasons the terrace farms started getting abandoned. Apparently they used to only pass the land to the eldest male there. When the mountain people had to adopt the lowlander's laws, the size of farms gradually became smaller for each succeeding household to the point that it reduce them to subsistence farming and eventually, farms started getting abandoned as younger generations just move to the cities rather than toil on land that is not profitable.

What ends up happening is grandma sell the land to a gentleman farmer or developer and the family gets a 1 time lump sum and now has no land. Not a good idea imo

Losing wealth generation by generation sounds very familiar... Just like, son, please study hard so that you get a secure j0b and a well-paid one... However, still it looks like this: Generation 1: had an estate with vine, oil press, various shops, a mansion, dined from real china with silver cutlery. Lost it all in WWII Generation 2: suffered from the war, but rebuilt their wealth to the point that they had at least a farm and a shop again and a sizable house, but being just upper working class and not rich anymore Generation 3: finally having the time to study, but barely being able to afford a house and a car despite having a j0b with far greater reputation than their parents Generation 4 (me): worked myself nearly to death to get a Ph.D. but can't find a frigging j0b (far from the only one with that problem! So much to the state lamenting a serious lack of skilled labor) and wear things until they fall off my body... Generation 5? My guess is scavengers through radioactive wastelands

I heard a type of family dynamic (perhaps in Nepal) where on mountains farmable land is scarce and they can't just keep dividing land up between their kids. A woman would marry all the brothers in a family. Any child she had could be a result of any of them and they'd all be considered the child's father. This not only kept population low but ensured the land stayed in the family and unlike there being one head of the family and everyone else being vassels, completely dependant on one person, the land was shared. Seems fairer just as long as you're willing to share your wife. You also might have an overabundence of unmarried women. I'm no expert.

Mazdakites and their spiritual successors had a similar thing going on, but all the brothers had wives and the kids from any of them were the family's children, and the property was co-owned. That way it was kind of full of redundancies, the only danger was if you were an only child. (that switch also solves the surplus of unmarried women, but I am curious what kind of politicking and social webs that would have been spun if the Mazdakites had won their war against the rich religious elite they were going against VERY strongly. Having multiple wives from multiple families would cause way more complex inter-family relationships and my inner amateur sociologist wants to know...)

Great video, but I really feel that you have understated the importance of a good couch. Speaking as a man who has spent many years sleeping on a couch, it should be firm but not so firm that it doesn't support the lower back, shoulders and neck. A good couch should also be roomy enough to lie down on without having to go sideways (an important issue for folks with big shoulders,) but not so big that it becomes too much of a focal point of the room. If it has a pattern, you have to take into consideration whether the pattern clashes with any patterned wallpaper or curtains. The color should not be bland, but not too garish either. Owning a good couch is exactly like walking a tight rope with no safety net or performing open heart surgery; if you do it wrong, the consequences can be dire. Anyway, great video, and I appreciate the Japanese custom of having a favorite child to inherit everything; finally, a straight answer from parents on which child is loved the most.

Yeah, couches are never wide enough. I'm a woman, but if I lie even mostly flat one arm just falls off the couch, and then my shoulder aches something fierce the next day. I actually got rid of my couch because I was only using it for storage and occasionally sitting on while staring at a wall. But I did keep the cushions, as well as every pillow I get. I figure you can probably stack enough pillows next to the cushions to and cover with a sheet to make a decent mattress on the floor for someone if need be.

My guess before I watch is that if you leave your legacy to a daughter, she'll marry into another family and your legacy will have been absorbed by another family or sold off if they have no need for it.

Funnily enough, there's a type of family relative in Ukrainian culture, that's less likely than a widow or a daughter to inherit jackshit - THE GODPARENTS. Like, I feel sorry for them. Godparents are considered very close relationships in our culture, much closer than in Western world. Usually godparents are family friends turned relatives, and mighty and powerful very often choose this route to get that sweet sweet nepotism favours, so, yeah, it's serious business. Yet, unless it's specifically stated in the will, godparents are usually considered out of the inheritance line and don't get anything. I mean, daughters would normally get some cattle and money because it's their dowry and widows were considered entitled to stay in their husband's house and be looked after by the youngest adult son(in property splitting usually younger children got the house).

Judge: You make a good case random commentor but due to the plaintiff having a vagina the court is going hereby ignore it. Ain't that right, boys? Jury: woo, yeah! Patriarchy!

I just have one question... how Mr. Hankey went from knowing a lot about Christmas to knowing a lot about Japan? Is there a lore behind this?

If you are a man you lose your kids your house and half of your stuff and you pay alimony 😭😭

@@johnparla6252 not all lose their kids, children are meant to be shared

Tell that to the woman

[@OriginalAdMan]

And now in modern Japan, wives can sue even for the property of their husband's extended family during divorce. Talk about overcorrection.

My Dad's friend died without children, he had a sizeable estate which he had inherited. He left all of it to his nephews and none of it to his nieces. I always found that amusing.

[@bardsolas]

Kinda messed up ngl

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I'd probably piss in a cup and throw it on the grave if I were one of the nieces, lol. Especially if I'd done nothing to be disfavorable except some percieved tragedy of being born a woman.

[@Blackmage4001]

That's not amusing, that's f*cked up. Probably explains why he had no kids.

[@YawehthedragondogofEL]

He was kicking it old school. Anglo Saxon stuff. If you don't like it, stop speaking English.

[@ragsrare3771]

True, rule number one trust no nobody, that includes husbands and wives. Loves only exist in the fiction and stories.

[@jvillain9946]

Isn't that where all problems start?

[@joshuasepeda3289]

Honestly, it makes sense to move to single inheritance when there's only so much land. The more you divide the land, the less wealth the descendants had. Gavelkind succession is also what ended the Carolingian dynasty. Splitting an empire weakens the power of the heirs. The Merovingian dynasty was also ended because of this. Primogeniture may seem unfair, but it is a better long term succession plan.

I really, REALLY wonder how world history would have turned out if every culture on Earth was just cool with women being able to inherit their birthrights the same as sons. But I do know that kind of world would be COMPLETELY different.

[@gopnikmcblyat1510]

It literally says in the video that it resulted in land fragmentation even when just sons got land. Daughters getting land would have resulted in more land fragmentation and probably nothing else

[@ARedMagicMarker]

@@gopnikmcblyat1510 I didn't get so far in the video because the day I first watched it, I had to go back to work and I still have yet to watch this whole thing so I have to come back to it another day. So I just left a comment stating my thoughts on how different the world and history pathways would be. But thanks for literally assuming my brain just didn't "pick it up" and you had to reiterate it for me. no worries, I'll be sure to say, "you're welcome" for ya' too. =_=
