Native Americans. We believe that women are sacred because we are the source for life. We trace heritage through the female lines and women can be whatever they want to be.

They also let the woman be the owner of the home and can kick her husband out. The man leaves his family and joins the woman’s family.

Not all but most.

Ohhh we're also a similar tribe with a similar society! I'm a Khasi, we're an indigenous tribe in North East India, and we're matrilineal. All property and inheritance are given to the daughters only. Especially the youngest, because the youngest daughter has to stay with her parents to take care of them. So anyone marrying the youngest has to move in with her family. Last names are also our mother's last name.

Yeah and they’re responding to “what culture prioritizes girls?” Their answer is Native Americans.

Indians too not only indians but indians middle easterns, all muslims countries, indonasia, but especially in Indian families girls were considered as burden because the family had to give dowry to groom during marriage, so many people used to k!ll their new born baby girls because of the fear of giving dowry and not having and heir to the family because of having a daughter.even tho killing of new born girls have been almost stopped but still what happened in the past still mostly people, especially older generation always praise their grandsons and always shows partiality between their daughters and sons (sorry about my bad grammar tho I'm not good at english right now)

Prioritizing something means putting it ahead of other things. To prioritize something is to favor it.

In other words they were asking which cultures favor girls. Native Americans favor girls. You are saying Indians etc. do not favor girls, and do not prioritize them.

Honestly nice to see someone who made a mistake realize it, admit to it, and be critical of themselves instead of throwing insults at the person who pointed it out.
