Name the great non patriarchal civilizations or societies. When I say " great" I mean as in size.
Would you live in a Matriarchy?

I think our communities adoption of white issues, practices, Western vices and silliness is what led to our downfall.
To be honest, even with technological innovation, African hundreds of years ago was about a gazillion times better than it is today.
Whites were a disease that infected that continent. Adoption of their policies fukked up gender roles, stole land from women which led to famine, pollution, exploitation, abuse, death, torture, enslavement, loss of knowledge, loss of history, spread of false stereotypes about blks that are still entrenched in the world today...thanks but no thanks. The white way ain't it.

Why define great by size? I think this is another adoption of Euro philosophy. Expand, expand, expand. Meanwhile traditional African societies seemed more so focused on sustainability.
When we get into current world problems with population spikes, the fight for natural resources, and overcrowding we start to understand that the size of a civilization isn't necessarily the best way to judge it's greatness.
Many historical European cities were so dirty and overcrowded and poorly governed that it pushed it citizens to seek other nations and do what they did to the world which was to fukk it up.

Before I answer this question, I'd like to note that the terms patriarchy and matriarchy are problematic because they oversimplify other culture's governing systems.
For instance, many people have tried to call pre-colonial African societies matriarchal or patriarchal when in reality they didn't fall entirely into either of those limiting categories.
What is the term for a society like the most pre-colonial African ones, or the Minangkabau where men and women hold equal power but in different roles?
That isn't western patriarchy or matriarchy as we know it.

Stop it some of the biggest cities ever were in preparation colonial Africa. Stop acting like Africa was just a bunch of unorganized wild men running around. We had plenty of empires and all of them were patriarchies.
We did. But they weren't the overcrowded dirty, throw shyt out the window into the streets, "urban cities" that white scholars always claim are the hallmarks of civilization.
Pre-colonial African societies were large but sustainably so, which is why I said size isn't necessarily the best marker of "greatness". I think sustainability is.
I would have preferred living in 1200 Tichitt-Walata to the Middle Ages in Europe...
Built by Soninke people.
On a side note, another reason people think Africa was undeveloped or didn't have large cities is because we get medieval Europe shoved down our throats and pre-colonial Africa gets ignored.
There was a lot of amazing shyt happening all over Africa prior to contact with Europeans.
Benin back in the day...
A chick can only dream. Benin was burned to the ground after retaliating against British forces initial meetings. Ivory, jewels, statues and more were all stolen and taken back to Europe.

White men created the atomic bomb and ctrl the entire world, though. All the dynasties you read about were vanquished lol.
Like how black folk are being vanquished now through entitlements turning our society into a matriarchy raising this:

Bullshyt. It's human nature to reproduce. Anytime humans are in a stable sustained society/community with resources readily available, the population grows. If non patriarchal societies have been as successful as you all claim, then why you can't name one of any significant size? Humans have been on earth for thousands of years and you can't name one great non patriarchal society? Why can you only point to small primitive communities as examples of non patriarchal societies?
Traditional African societies are patriarchal. You black feminists really need to let this dumb myth about Europeans creating patriarchy go because it exposes your ignorance and how you've been manipulated by white liberals.
This makes no sense. Competition is part of life. Nature isn't called "survival of the fittest" for no reason.
You're not really saying shyt. I didn't say that societies are only judged by how big they are. I'm saying that you can't name one non patriarchal society that has worked for large populations of people. You can't name one non patriarchal society that has been able to thrive and compete amongst patriarchal societies. Feminists love deminizing patriarchy but can't point to any examples of social systems that have worked any better. All you've got is the "you black men just want to be like white men" bullshyt.
So? What's the point? Being patriarchal made Europe dirty and overcrowded?

how in gods name is the black community a matriarchy?
A Matriarchy is when the female gender is of greater political, financial and social standing when compared to their PRESENT male counterparts. MEANING males within a matriarchy are AROUND and OK with women having greater social status than them and making the decisions.
Black women having to pick up the slack because they are estranged or were abandoned by their childs father isnt the same.
