Most things that I have seen have suggested that matriarchal does not mean women control everything but that control is more balanced. The ideal is a partnership society instead of a dominator society.



Compare and contrast:

Michele Bachelet... appointed 50% of women in every level of government

Could women be that disgusting? I don't know - but I don't think so. And there is nothing positive about those men in the Congo with their dominator society. Not one thing. All that does is get people looking for ways to do them in - and so it goes. And look at how the women are used. What happens to them.

Would it be better if people in the culture had something in mind where women were appreciated? A symbol of a Goddess? I don't know - but it's difficult to imagine that it could be any worse. (And I wouldn't want to imagine it).
