Do you think that we are heading for a matriarchy in the West and if so do you think that is a good or a bad thing?

[PowerPrincess]

Seriously, look at the direction of the Scandinavian countries and Canada. It is absolutely not unlikely. All it would take is the right (or wrong depending on your POV) President coming along and that would be that.
I would be interested in knowing why you think that this would be a good or a bad thing. Is it just because you believe in equal rights, prefer the patriarchy, think that women would use their new power for some ''payback'' etc.

Yes and its a good thing

Yes and its a bad thing

No

[harabi]

The gender of the head of state is not a strong predicament for people's culture. Think of Benazir Bhutto, Corazon Aquino, Khaleda Zia, Tansu Ciller, Dilma Rousseff, Masoumeh Ebtekar, Sidibé Cissé, Atifete Jahjaga and many more.. All female leaders of patriarchal countries. They did not manage to divert majority's attitude. Canadian and Scandinavian male PM's, also British and Australian seem much more feminist that aforementioned female leaders.

[WhiteMason98]

Haha sorry to be the one to break it to you but we are not heading for a "Matriarchy" LOL. That is a feminist fantasy. The Globalists/Zionists have allowed these feminazi women to have a little bit of power but it is simply a strategic move on a chessboard. They want to destroy the nuclear-family so they go about doing this by attempting to drive a wedge between the 2 genders. Women only have power that men ALLOW them to have.

[PowerPrincess]

You think i'm crazy and yet talk of zionist conspiracies. LOL. OK.

[WhiteMason98]

Haha. Penis-envy much? LOL

[PowerPrincess]

Think about what you just said. If I believe that the West is heading towards a matriarchy, why would I want to be male?

[WhiteMason98]

The only "Matriarchy"" that is ever going to exist is the one in your little fantasy world LOL. Feminism is DYING. All the REAL women of the world have completely turned against you feminazis. Just go to YouTube and search "Women Against Feminism" LOL. Surrender and bow-down to the Patriarchy sweetie because we're not going anywhere.

[PowerPrincess]

Ha! Is this patriarchy that I am going to bow down to coming before or after the Zionists take over?

[WhiteMason98]

You already used that one remember?

[PowerPrincess]

''The Globalists/Zionists have allowed these feminazi women to have a little bit of power but it is simply a strategic move on a chessboard.''

I'm just repeating what you said, sweetie. And I will continue to repeat it because it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

[WhiteMason98]

Perhaps you should do a little research before you dismiss truth as "The most ridiculous thing you've ever heard." You can back out of this debate right now if you want and avoid further humiliation, but if you wish to continue I'll be around for the next 30 minutes.

[PowerPrincess]

The truth as you see it. But sure, link me to some conspiracy website. That'll convince me.

[WhiteMason98]

I don't need a "conspiracy website". Everything I need is between my ears. So let the debate commence.

[WhiteMason98]

So, you're a delusional radical feminist who has convinced herself that a "Matriarchy" is coming in the future. Let's start there.

[WhiteMason98]

Hello? PowerPrincess? You didn't run up the white-flag already did you?

[PowerPrincess]

I'm not interested in debating you. I have better things to do. A list with sources will be just fine.

[WhiteMason98]

You have better things to do? Like what? Posting questions on G@G that get flamed and thumbed-down by everyone who sees them?

[WhiteMason98]

Haha. You thought I left didn't you. You waited 30 minutes until you thought I wasn't around LOL. You're adorable!!

[PowerPrincess]

A list with sources will do just fine. Still waiting for you to wow me with your proof about zionist conspiracies, sweetie.
PS Where are my downvotes LOL?

[WhiteMason98]

It looks like just about everyone on this question, including your fellow females, shit all over you.

[WhiteMason98]

Sure, I will get some sources together. I will include videos, websites, quotes, and books. It will take me a while though, I am a very busy man and I do have important things to do today. And FYI, as we've been having this little exchange I was throating my 10/10 friends with benefits and she was laughing at you and hailing the Patriarchy.

[PowerPrincess]

You're a busy man and yet you've found time to have this whole conversation with me and throat a girl. LOL. ok.
And still waiting for your evidence about zionist conspiracies. Books and sources my ass. I'm guessing that the moment I discounted your conspiracy website that was 100% of your evidence gone. All you've done is made me feel rather smug that i'm not you.

[WhiteMason98]

Haha. Don't cream yourself woman. I just got back. I had to go out for a few minutes but I can see you've been anxiously awaiting me. I will have the sources for you in a little bit but I am still in the middle of something. I'm just curious though, are you straight?

[cipher42]

We've still not had a single female president, the vast majority of CEOs of major companies are male, and women only make up about 20% of our legislature. So to suggest that we're heading toward a matriarchy is utterly ridiculous, as we haven't even managed to achieve basic equality yet.

[PowerPrincess]

''Basic equality?'' Are we talking about America or Saudi Arabia here?

[cipher42]

The US. We may have de jure equality, but still not defacto. Again, 80% of our congress is men. If you think 80 is equal to 20 I think you maybe need to go back to high school.

[ExperimentalMale]

The asker doesn't need to go back to school, she's just asking if we are HEADING towards a matriarchy, she didn't say we are in one. Plus surely you can understand what she means.

[cipher42]

@ExperimentalMale If we haven't even gotten to equality then it's ridiculous to say we're heading toward a matriarchy. Like, technically yes we're heading toward a matriarchy, but only in the sense that heading towards equality means heading toward a matriarchy when working against an existing patriarchal system.

[ExperimentalMale]

How is it ridiculous? You do realise a Matriarchy is one of the most equal societies to exist right?
People seem to assume it's the opposite of a Patriarchy but that's false, it doesn't oppress men.
In a Patriarchy actual true equality can never exist, it just can't happen. The way a Patriarchy operates and a Matriarchy operates are completely different. I do agree that we are working against a Patriarchal society, it's pretty obvious.

[cipher42]

It's not really false though. Maybe in the academic sense, but that wasn't what was being used. Typically when people talk about a "matriarchy" they mean a reversed patriarchy. I assume thats the sense meant here, thus why I think it's a ridiculous idea.

[ExperimentalMale]

Yeah people assume that but if you read up about Matriarchies you'll see that it isn't the opposite of a Patriarchy and it is false lol

[cipher42]

@ExperimentalMale that's not true though. Like, yes, maybe the academic definition isn't like that, but the colloquial one is, and it's the colloquial definition I assumed was being used. Because the thing about English is that the definition of words is based on their use, so if matriarchy is used to mean the reverse of a patriarchy then that's a legitimate definition of it.

[ExperimentalMale]

That's not the definition though lol if we go by what google says on the first search then it's the same as a Patriarchy which is also not correct.

[cipher42]

@ExperimentalMale it's the way it's used colloquially. Again, words are defined by how they're used. Thus why "literally" can now be used figuratively for emphasis. Ask any linguist, theyll tell you that the rules of English are descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning they are a description of how people use language rather than a prescription for how they should use it.

[modeve]

Travel from matriarchy to patriarchy took almost four thousand years. Keeping this period in view, it seems impossible that matriarchy will be back in a few hundred years. However if returns, it will be blessing for humanity because there was no war during ancient matriarchal period.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

I didn't even know there was an ancient matriarchal period?
Still you can assume things will take so long to change the world has been and is changing at an immense pace compared with 4000 years ago.

[modeve]

Thanks for one of the MHGs.

[DevikaButts95]

I think it is.
And as much as I'd like to live in a world where guys both figuratively and literally are kissing the feet and asses of women, I'd rather see equality.

[Girl7150]

Not gonna comment on the whole matriarchy thing, but I'm from Denmark in Scandinavia and I think we're doing pretty damn well over here :')

[madhatters4]

not at all. i think this talk of matriarchal societies is just fear tactics of fringe political groups and media.

[madhatters4]

thanks for MHO

[Crapulux]

The backlash to PC/feminism is coming, and it's gonna be seriously ugly.

[harabi]

Not a very strong choice to compare and contrast, let's see what it's like in russian military
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpB6Neo0BtU
Female superior beating a soldier. And she was later acquitted of charges. So what were you saying about feminism and give Russia as an example?
The next suggested video is titled 'Father raped daughter and scalped her'

Check it out via Google Translate

Russia is simply so cool. Just like Murica

[Crapulux]

@harabi Yeah, I love Russia. You forgot to mention what happened to FEMEN there, by the way.

[harabi]

They were from Ukraine and what happened is that they did not get much attention (and money)
Yet both countries are quite the same. Shit all over. Love being stomped on the head by a woman. It's your choice them, move there.

[Crapulux]

@harabi Oh, right. I mixed them up with Pussy Riot LOL. Damn, those russians know how to handle feminists!

There's no such thing as a patriarchy, guys are just more intelligent and stronger. Men are just better leaders. If you look at Germany, Merkel is one example that women can't handle running a country and I doubt Hillary would've able to. And to answer your question we are not going to achieve a matriarchal society and I'm glad we won't.

[PrincessCleo]

I absolutely hope so. Women and girls are the future;

[0112358]

People here in Canada are convinced we still have a patriarchy.

[alice55]

Depend by what you mean by West if you include my country then no. We have still a patriarchy (light one though) and far from become a matriarchy (hopefully).

[vampireelf]

I really hope the world is going to be matriachic one day. I think that woman are just the better leaders. Im a big supporter of feminism, even radical one 😊

[IQuestionExcistense]

I think if this keeps up, yes. There have been some opposite movements springing up though, especially the alt-right is a strong opposition to third wave feminism.

[ExperimentalMale]

I think it will be a good thing, to be honest, I've read about it and learnt about it and it's one of the most equal societies to exist.

[ExperimentalMale]

Oh and i'm not sure but there is definitely a chance we are heading towards a Matriarchy, it's just the question if the general population agree with it since the only way a Matriarchy would be possible is democratically.

[beautifulangel76]

I don't believe so. I think people are seeing other more as equals though.

[Anonymous]

That is one of the dumbest right-wing reactionary posts I've seen on this site.

It only shows how your knowledge of countries like Sweden comes from Fox News or something.

[WalterRadio]

No matriarchal society has ever accomplished anything noteworthy.

[Blitzkrieger]

I support marine le pen for president in france. She is the woman Europe needs but perhaps not deserves. I dont care what the gender of politicians is but she is a real nationalist and better than fucking trudeau from Canada.

[kickme]

were already there. lower standards for everything if your female or black for things like jobs, college, crimes, etc. The deck is stacked. White men committed suicide to get votes and sales $$ from women.

[Bilo007]

uh? whats happening in Canada? Did I miss the memo?

[PowerPrincess]

Put it this way: there aren't many men in the world who are jealous of the men in Canada.

[Bilo007]

they don't know what they are missing :)

What happens when the patriarchy fights back?

[Anonymous]

Any level of matriarchy is artificial and temporary. The pendulum swung too far in places like Scandinavia and Canada and has already begun to swing back toward a more natural state.

[Anonymous]

Women fucked with everything from politics to relationships and its going to fuck up society and only a war type situation is eminent. The day that happens... if women dare come back crawling to us... we will fuck them up severely. Women are pathetic

[Opinion Owner]

oh and FUCK YOU YOU FEMNINST PRICK #cipher42 Don't cry when one day men fuckin hurt you

[Anonymous]

Nah, "feminism" is only a distraction and a tool controlled by a "male" dominated government. Any and Everything a woman does is controlled, "signed off on" and allowed (by male government).

[Anonymous]

If you truly believe in equality, it would be neither better or worse. The genders are equal, and should be equal!!!

[Anonymous]

Patriarchy is a made up term. lol

[PowerPrincess]

Well, I now know you are a guy ''Anon''.

[LILtuga]

we aren't progressive enough
