""Matthews audience was to the Jewish converts. They knew better.""
Firstly, that is not proof that a woman's genealogy cannot be made. Secondly, to whom was Luke addressed?
""Mary's genealogy listed in Luke shows the bloodline, not the title.
Mary's father is Heli, not joseph.""
This is assumed from your belief that Luke gives Mary's genealogy. Circular logic, really.
