It is possible in that it can have both institutional and intergenerational privileges or disadvantages because for it to be institutional, it has to be based on the laws, practices and customs of the society that have unlike effects irrespective of individual intent, and it can also be intergenerational in that it can continue for a very long time and still have an impact on our systems and laws today.
