Considering all of the above, what is inherent can be removed leaving what is intrinsic behind. But take away what is intrinsic, and you have nothing left behind for the inherent to adhere to.

The same thing goes for an adherent. Take away the thing the adherent adheres to, and you disinherent the adherent.

Some adherents are better off as inherents doing their own thing. Then they have only themselves to adhere to - which ends up, paradoxically, making them attractive to adherents.

The world seems to be divided up between inherents and adherents, and they usually end up finding one another. Not so long ago, most of the inherents in our society were men. But that was just a cultural anomaly. Now the split is about equal, half men and half women.

That doesn't mean men and women are any more equal in their relationship as a couple than they ever were. No, not at all. It just means the gender split between inherents and adherents is about equal. Men don't have an inherent advantage any more.
