(2,976 posts)It appeared to be an attempt to provide the reasoning as to why a matriarchal based society was superior to a patriarchal society, that's how I read it.
While the exact words * matriarchal and *patriarchal did not appear, my take is that both the poster of the OP and those who supported his position classified a female dominated society as one that is enlightened, nurturing, and non aggressive; while the male dominated society is aggression based due to the violent composition of men themselves.
I concur with your summation of that OP.
This is the reason I asked the poster why he/she may have thought that that was true, given the enthusiastic support by feminists for women taking on combat roles in the US armed forces?
He/she did not reply. An other poster replied that opportunities were limited for those excluded from combat roles.
To which I posted "So it is acceptable to for women to embrace the warfare culture from a feminist point of view?
There was no reply.
The contradiction makes itself evident in our most recent history.
