I dig the pseudo science attitude that males are naturally in charge and worthy of the sense of power they apparently desperately need to get through the day. Nice try, but maybe if you put some more sugar on it we'll actualy swallow it down and buy it. The reality is that in a truly spiritual sense the two genders operate as a whole. One cannot survive without the other. Males and females produce females and males. You'll never see any animals arguing about who runs the show gender wise for the whole planet. They get up with every day and do their natural thing. You can learn more from observing the natural world than by listening to the very prejudicial and swayed logic of stupid people. Matriarchy and patriarchy are words used to justify one of many aspects of the stupid logic of much of humankind. I dare say your average dog has more common sense and has life more figured out than most people. My question, is why is it so important to carry either label of matriarchy or patriarchy? Both terms are really up in you head and not in reality unless you choose to live according to weak and silly societal concepts of who and what males and females are. I have yet to be convinced of a male who was anything other than my natural equal. I can scientifically look at life and do the math based on my observations. The need to control everything all the time is actually and expression of weakness, because no one can do it.
