RE: Ecotrain Question of the Week:What is matriarchy? What do you think a matriarchal society would look like?
I just want to say that I came from the largest matriarchy ethnic group in the world 😊

Wow that’s very cool- perhaps you’d want to chime in on our question of the week? What is matriarchy? I’d love to hear your experience/thoughts!
ah great minds think alike x
hey @ayahkasih, would you be up for answering this ecotrain question? I would love to hear your personal experience of living in a matriarchal society. My answer comes from knowledge passed down and from my own beliefs. Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting.
Ehm...but first, please forgive me for my poor English.
Central figure in our 'tribal myth' is Bundo Kanduang (meaning Biological Mother), The Greatest Queen all the time. Our clan (family name) descent from mother to children. Men and women with the same family name consider as close family, so prohibit to marrying each other (this has inspired a lot of fictions).
Women inherit tanah pusaka (clan's property).
My late grandmother from mother and my mother are the only daughter, and I only have brothers. Technically, according to our culture, my family lineage has ended.
I don't have problem with matriarchy. In fact, my grandmother got a medal for her works, so did my mother.
