~~Probably a boring answer but~~ I know my grandmother's credit card information. I live with and help take care of her, so she doesn't mind sharing it with me. Not like I'm planning to do anything nefarious, but I guess technically it could ruin her financially.

It's it possible that you read too much into this?

Barring extreme situations, when a baby is born the mother knows it's hers because it literally comes out of her. But the biological difference is that nine months ago the father was used to make the baby... he thinks. But most of the time, he doesn't truly know for sure.

Anyway, that might be what they were going for...

Exactly, thanks.
I could also have said something about misguided patriarchic structures but if they react like that just on female promiscuity, such an effort would be wasted.
(Yes i mean to say that monogamy is an invention of male dominance cultures.)
