CMV: Asking the parents (specifically the father) for permission to date or marry is inherently sexist.

Why should I as a man need the permission or another man or adult to date or marry a grown woman? The argument I hear the most is that its about respect. In what way? It's men essentially asking for permission to transfer "ownership" of the woman from her father/parents to her soon to be husband (in the case of marriage).

The other is religion, if the religion requires consent for both sexes then you have more of a point because then it's not sexist, still ridiculous in the 21st century but equal. If the Religon only requires consent of the female partners parents to marry then its sexist.

Isn't your argument a bit tautological? Like there's nothing sexist if both partners ask both sets of parents permission before getting married, but then you clarify if they only ask in a sexist way like only the daughters father then it is sexist.
