[ The second question gets a laugh out of her, forgetting that those sorts of things might come as a surprise. ]
Stupid rules are almost always the fault of men. Think about it; when a woman has a kid, everyone automatically knows it's hers, right? So the best way to keep track of a family should be through the mother's family line. But men wanted to be in charge of property and laws and all this other shit, so they decided it was better to trace it down through their families. The only way they can do that is if they can cut down the chances of a baby being some other dude's. Which meeeeans... no sex until you belong to one person.
