What is another word for more patrilineal?
Pronunciation: [mˈɔː pˈatɹɪlˌɪni͡əl] (IPA) 
More patrilineal refers to societies or cultures where inheritance and familial lineage are traced through the father's side. If you want to convey the same meaning using synonyms, you can use terms like male-dominated, patriarchal, father-centric, father-side oriented, paternal, or masculine-oriented. These synonyms describe societies where men hold more power, decision-making authority and enjoy more privileges than women. In contrast, the opposite of more patrilineal is more matrilineal, which means that inheritance and familial lineage are traced through the mother's side. Matrilineal societies are often described as female-dominated, mother-centric, maternal, or feminine-oriented. Both concepts are important for understanding the complex ways in which different societies define family structures and gender roles.
