Soompi: Jang Yoon Jung: “Mom Spent 10 Years of My Savings Racking Up $1 Million in Debt”

Patriarchy gone wrong? One notes that it is the mother who apparently was favoring the son, not the father - she was the one managing her finances. An unmarried daughter may need to contribute to the well-being of the family while she is still living with them, but to have her savings used unwisely by her mother on her brother specifically? Does she not have a future too, should she not be financially prepared for marriage and having a family of her own? Is this a case of patriarchy being wrongly enforced by the mother, favoritism, or just multiple errors of judgment?
