    Fucking weird that when some people say 'my wife/kids/son/daughter' etc the word 'my' isn't just showing u are related to them but also showing some sort of ownership.

      For real, good point!

      I guess under capitalism everything is framed though the concept of ownership so how else would these people know to conceptualize their familial relationships

        Yeah I mean it absolutely needs saying that it is not even remotely just capitalism this relationship of ownership happens (Ancient rome for instance springs to mind) but yeah capitalism is the biggest contemporary ideology that espouses this.
