The Carthaginians had a gruesome practice of child sacrifice at places called tophets. If this was a matriarchal society (I don't think it was), it was not one anyone wants to emulate.

The Carthaginians had a gruesome practice of child sacrifice at places called tophets. So does our society, only they're called reproductive health clinics.

Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son to God. The Bible tells us that Jesus was offered as a sacrifice to God to excuse the sins of man.
Sacrificing your children isn't an exclusively matriarchal practice.

Now we call them abortion clinics.
