yeah, I don't disagree that matriarchy is problematic (no idea if witches in particular should be against matriarchy, but feminists should be against it)

but I don't think the meme claims matriarchy is better than patriarchy, it just says the perceptions of matriarchy expose a patriarchal mindset, and implies the patriarchal mindset is problematic ... maybe that could be construed to be positive about matriarchy, but again the meme doesn't seem to defend matriarchy or imply it is superior, it's just not making that kind of comparison while clearly calling out "control" as a style of "leadership".

fair enough, I felt like it was pro-matriarchal and wanted to call it out.
