* The scarcity of boys leading boys to become slaves, serfs, or chattel very much fits the [[http://www.pkarchive.org/theory/SerfsUp.html theory]] that serfdom came as a product of labor shortage rather than labor surplus. The tactics used by Japanese corporations in TheEighties to trap graduates of the most reputable universities fit well into that theory.

*** It may be possible to get around the icky factor, but as with BrotherSisterIncest, the revulsion against ParentalIncest is biologically based. Harmful rare recessive genes have a much higher chance of doubling up. At least part of the reason UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud was able to come up with his OedipusComplex was that his mother wasn't involved much in rearing him.

* When they're traveling to Mayfair at the queens' invitation, Mother Elder tells Jerin that they're planning on splitting the family in such a way as to make Corelle the eldest of the younger kids. Jerin questions this decision and points out Summer is of similar age and could be their eldest instead, but Mother Elder dismisses this as Summer not being a strong enough leader and Corelle just needing to learn how to set the correct course.\\
When you pay attention, Summer rarely speaks up compared to Jerin's other sisters, often just a sentence or a few words, usually said quietly or murmured. She's even introduced as opposing Corelle's viewpoint but unable to make her point firmly enough to make any difference. Meanwhile, although Corelle ''did'' start off the book with petty bickering with Jerin and running off to the Brindles', when Raven Tern and her soldiers show up at their door, Corelle is the one to take charge in going out to speak to them to convince them to wait for Queens Justice and avoid bloodshed. Later in Mayfair, Corelle not only remembered all of Kij's sister's bragging about their family history, she immediately figured out how to weaponize it to get Kij away from Jerin. Mother Eldest is correct; Corelle really is the natural leader for the younger half of the family.

** This works both way, really. Men are married off at 16, to fully grown women who are often in their late twenties to early thirties, because most sisterhoods have to save for a long time before they can afford a husband. Unlike their wives, the boys can't 'opt out' of servicing them in bed, and there is no talk of a sisterhood ever waiting for their husband to be more mature before bedding him. Even Eldest Whistler, at 28, [[spoiler: is pregnant with 16-years-old-Cullen's child by the end of the book.]]

*** So still like, a ten to eleven years old. And still Jerin holds this against him.
**Worse is that he likely didn't have a choice in the matter, and yet gets demonised by the main characters for getting basically raped by his own family.

*** Not irrelevant. He might not actually '''be''' the father, but he's in the '''position''' of the father in the viewpoint of the baby. That triggers the revulsion and {{Squick}}.
