Yes, Alex, men are also suffering in this system I'd say just as much. As it's not the balanced masculine qualities that is having most space to rule but the unbalanced ones as they are not counter balanced by the healthy feminine qualities. Actually nobody can thrive this way.
Why are you backtracking though? In my pinion you have not proposed Matriarchy in your previous posts as a system where ONLY the feminine would rule. (Ok, you did say the need for all structure would be out the window. ) But I seemed to have understood that you have recognised that the feminine principle would rule in both women AND men, leaving enough space for the healthy masculine to balance it out. Because leading would be seen as a position of service not privilege. Anyway, balance it is in service of Life. I like how you suggest we make the change happen in our social exchange, by being loyal to ourselves. I also feel it will happen within that's why I have posted a diagram for people to use to balance the feminine and masculine qualities within themselves.
