For a pure Somali, you need both parents to be Somalis. So a Somali female would have importance in this case of puritanism. With that said though, a Somali man's kids would have easier assimilation and acceptance among Somalis than a Somali woman's children from a non-Somali union. Hence, the patriarchy and the world being generally a man's world. Somalis are no exception. That is what I was referring to when I said men are responsible for maintaining the lineage. We are called a nation of Somalis exactly because our father was a Somali. No one cares about who his wife was in truth. Never heard of any Somali asking who was our earliest mother.
The majority of the world nations are patriarchal. Women tag alone. LOL.
I don't know why some men on this website are obsessed with somali women who date non-somali men. These women are insignificant.
