First I’ve heard of it.

As a dude only grew up with an older brother so can’t really speak much about this that’ll help. It’s not the same concept(s) and not nearly as severe but as the youngest I got the shorter stick lol.

There’s also the concept (or expectation) that the ‘single’ daughter is expected to do a lot of the caring for elderly parents which is completely unfair and seemingly very very common. Came up far too often when reading about it with all the care stuff going on here at my place. Some of those stories were pretty fucked up.

One family of my acquaintance has 4 boys (no girls), and the mum has had to be a root hog or die boy mum. Not entirely of her own choice I reckon - very traditional southern european family on both sides so a huge weight of expectations from EVERYONE of the previous generation to ‘keep our traditions’ no matter how toxic. The boys are turning out to be … a mixed bunch. At least one of them will probably be knifed before he graduates out of university - the others have much better manners but the same mindset. Not victims of the manosphere - these boys are being tutored by the preceding generation in how to be toxic arseholes. And they are proud of it and claim that this behaviour is needed to ‘succeed in life’. I pity anyone that marries any one of them - ahead of time.

  but it’s a stereotype and not all are like that

    Absolutely true. But this lot are being deliberately trained to be like that.
