Moving to patrilocality

[edit]

No thank you. I am old fashion I would redirect everything to "patrilocal", that is what it was called in the ice age when I took Anthropology 101 :) I have a hard time with "patrilocal residence" and the "patrilocality" while technically turns the adjective patrilocal to a noun is not.... well not in my everyday vocabulary. Since I am provincial and ignorant sometimes, I did a Google search and found 17,000 hits on "patrilocality", 19,000 hits on "patrilocal residence" and 89,000 hits on "patrilocal". You decide (redirects are a beautiful thing). --Rcollman 00:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons

[edit]

Surely the likelihood in the past of a woman dying in childhood childbirth is a good reason for patrilocality? Doesn't that seem plausible? Malick78 (talk) 23:03, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This makes no sense, how could a woman die in childhood? Do you mean childbirth? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.51.7 (talk) 04:29, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, typing too fast and not rereading :) Despite the lack of any sources (that I know of), doesn't it seem reasonable? Malick78 (talk) 22:54, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of tag

[edit]

I am going to remove the tag for factual issues. I can't see what the problem is; as of 2013, this is amply supported by the literature. Bearian (talk) 19:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
