I had a friend who was a math professor with an interest in Anthropology. He and an anthropologist had a project in which they crunched huge numbers of facts gathered about societies all around the globe. Not much significant jumped out EXCEPT this: Almost inevitably, cultures that had plows pulled by animals or men were almost always patralenial. Apparently the extra organization and/or strength needed for plowing changed horticulture from a women’s and kid’s activity, to a manly one. The exceptional benefits that flowed improved agriculture made men more important.

Unfortunately for those guys, their days of hunting, fishing or just lazing around with the guys, were OVER!

Someone needs to inform the esteemed ruling ladies photographed that those hats look stupid. Obviously no one has thus far braved their wrath to do so, because they’ve just kept getting bigger and bigger, to Seussian dimensions. But, it clearly needs to be done. They’re wasteful and unsustainable, on top of looking stupid.

Speaking of Doctors but Freud rather than Seuss, I suspect he’d see penis envy in those things. They’re the third world ruling female version of a red Corvette, lol.

With a possible rare exception, societies of this type are matrilineal, not matriarchial.

Men still run the society and most if not all of its dominant positions. Kinship being traced through the mother is about the only difference from the more traditional patriarchal society.
