Would America be better as a Matriarchy?

[Knuckles Red]

men still built those structures, literally


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.

Can we name hundreds and thousands of black male architects who have built and designed the best structures known to mankind? Also, going by your own logic,

what would the answer to my first question say about us as black men?

Why do you assume a matriarchy would be beneficial to black men?

Where did I make that assumption?

If modeled after the First Nations people's matriarchy, then yes. I think a system like that would be beneficial to all involved because it would require everyone to contribute based off of what they were

capable of contributing, and NOT based off of what was between their legs. The problem with the argument, some make, about the "matriarchy" within the black community is that its still functions within a

patriarchal society. Yes, there may be a lot of women heading the households in the BC, but men are still valued over women.

The first nations were matrlinenal, matriarchy isn't the same. The chief was decided by the mothers line but was mainly male.

America is the most matriarchal society to ever exist in world history.

Why or why not?

Would we be better off in terms of domestic and foreign policy?

Wouldn't matter. Man or woman, the western world would have the same fears & greed as they do now.

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.

Elaborate

No society has ever pandered as much to women or paid as much attention to their interests, wants, and concerns than 21st century Western society. Especially the U.S.- the epicenter of the feminist movement.

 

[Lewis Black]

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

Dude never answered this
