RE: What is matriarchy? What do you think a matriarchal society would look like? ecotrain question of the week
I think you are not aware of the biological reality of the sexes and why we evolved as we did. We have male and female sexes because somewhere long long long time ago we had a "split" to share roles in raising offspring, not just in humans but in animals also. One sex (male) to gather resources and other sex (female) to take care of for the offspring. That's not some "alien" construct designed to enslave us or make us unhappy but a biological and evolutional necessity.
Hi,
Where in my post do you see me saying that the different sexes having different roles is not a good thing and that that is what our alien genetic coding is about? I think you misread the piece. The alien coding is about fear and scarcity.
Well, different sexes having different roles gave birth to "patriarchy", there was never a successful "matriarchy". Women have more power than most people think, but these "powers" are not so obvious. For example, one of our main evolutionary driving forces, and the thing that separates from chimps, for example, is that females choose their mates. In case of female chimps, they have to just submit to the strongest one. In humans it's different - a woman chooses her mate and in a lot of ways that fact shaped our view of nature as "one which selects", so there is power. There is the power that females have inside a family - a family as a basic unit of society - first army, first religion, first government. I don't think power is only in "governments" and being able to vote for example.
Curiouser and curiouser, you are still not referring to my text here. Maybe you are having trouble accepting/understanding that I have a different definition for matriarchy then what it says in the dictionary?
I don't even feel like replying to what you wrote because you are not even taking the post in for real and to me it is not a real conversation like that.
I think I did, I'm putting biology and evolution between reality and making a society a better place by just giving women more "power" and making men more get in touch with their "feminine qualities". In my opinion, these two can never meet.
I'm thinking about making a post about it, this could be a productive conversation because it's really hard to express yourself and your line of reasoning in comments like these.
Right well, it starts to make more sense to me what you' re on about as you are actually referring to something in the text now. I appreciate it. So You believe my ideal is too far from reality to be able to manifest itself because there are biological and evolutionary factors that stand in the way?
Yeah.
Like to elaborate, or are yo going to write that article about it?
There will be a post about it, but it will take time. I will link it here. :)
