Why or why not?

Would we be better off in terms of domestic and foreign policy?
:jbhmm:
No.

This country has too many established enemies for that to happen that unfortunately persist off of patriarchy and misogyny. Domestic policy would suffer greatly and it opens too many avenues for outside attackers to penetrate.

Sorry any matriarch just is aiming to be conquered then destroyed in a predominantly patriarchal society. Its 99.9% destined to fail.

Men are naturally stronger and are the ones that fight wars and lead soldiers. Thats not in a woman's nature. Women cant lead men like that.

If we are to go by the First Nations people as an example of what a real true matriarchy looks like, and how it functions then yes! Their matriarchy didn't stigmatize people based on their gender, sex, or sexual identity. Women were allowed to pursue/express their sexuality in the same way that men were. And gender roles weren't forced onto people either. If a woman happened to be a better hunter/fighter then thats what she would be and do. It was all about what was best for her community. Their matriarchy rested upon equal rights for all members of that community where everyone contributed.

Patriarchy, on the other hand, is rooted in European ideas of hierarchy. Europeans forced these ideas (in the most brutal ways imaginable) on all the societies that viewed women as equal. Societies who, in their [Europeans] opinion, were "uncivilized." So, as you can see, matriarchy is much more inclusive and encourages everyone to contribute based on their abilities/skills whereas patriarchy bases how people can contribute on their gender which can be, and is, exclusive.

Would we be able to win wars still? And their societies were matrlinenal. Not necessarily matriarchal.

Beverage Fridge, 3rd Row!!

men still built those structures, literally :sas1:


we can probably name hundreds, maybe thousands of male architects who've built and designed the best structures known to mankind.

Matriarchy wont work because men will still have to do all of the manual labor and maintenance of structures without any benefits. Most women can't even change a car tire, why should men be subordinates when we will be the ones doing the building, protecting, and labor. :pachaha:
