MODERATORS
Matriarchal societies have absolutely existed.
Matriarchy is not feminism. Any decent feminist should oppose a matriarchy.
feminism is one hundred years old
That's right, ladies. Y'all didn't even start thinking about equity until 1926.
even if it was 200 years old, it is still a much younger movement.
These comments are proof that Lemmy will never be popular until people get their shit together. Just pedantry and thinly veiled sexism.
To be fair, there’s only like ten of us here.
How old is misandry? 16?
There are pockets of matriarchy in the world but then the patriarchic societies went and trampled over everything.
Matriarchy isn't feminism - feminine is about equality/equity, not just swapping the gender in control
