If a Royal man marries a woman, she becomes Queen. Him king. But if a Royal woman marries a man who is not royalty, he can't be named king. Why ?

That's what you call gender bias. But i ask further, was it always so?

gender bias indeed.

A king's wife can be called a Queen but a Queen's husband can't be king..

first of all this not always true. It is not in all cases that a woman assumes the title of Queen once she marries a king. It doesn't happen all the time.

A perfect example is Morocco where the wife of the king is officially referred to as the "Princess consort" and not queen.

In England, the day prince Charles becomes king, his wife will not be addressed as "the Queen". Rather, she will be a "princess consort".

So, the title of Queen is not always automatic for the wife of a king in most cases.



I will be back to expatiate on all these at the very end of the day.

Because woman derives her identity from a man, either her father or husband.
A woman can become anything by virtue of her husband even if she is not qualified for such position.
They cannot stand alone without a male figure.
That is why you see a widow referring to her son, 'oko mi'. (My Head). Have you seen a man calling his daughter, 'my wife'?

Why would you think a woman can't stand alone without a land. It's simply sexism. But you guys will never see it that way and that's sas angry

The two words are obviously different if you consider their meanings.

"King" is not a title for husband but a title signifying leadership (headship) while "queen" is a title for the wife of a king.

In cases, where queens are the leaders, it will be inappropriate to refer to the husband as a king since he's not the leader.
