O I get what you are saying!

In my mind patriarchy = a world where men make most of the decisions. and matriarchy = a world where women make most of the decisions.

I don't want the men in my life to be pushed out of decision making. That's not fair to them. And the men I know aren't the ones abusing girls, etc.

I think what we need to get rid of is our worship of hierarchies. That tends to go hand in hand with patriarchy and I think it enables a lot of the abuse and war.

thank you for the kind response~! ^^

i think many women are similar to you as in they don't want to diminish the men in their lives, which is why i don't think a matriarchal society would be anything similar to a patriarchy.

i'm curious about your view on hierarchy. would the concept be eliminated altogether? or just not a pronounced focus as we have now??

A made a whole meme to describe my thoughts on hierarchy!

Now we tend to think of the world as one giant hierarchy, which is damaging and wildly inaccurate. We do have some hierarchies and I think we would do better if we made those structures smaller... as in more smaller hierarchies rather than a few big ones. And also the concept isn't that accurate. When you zoom out a bit you can see that it's more of a mesh network of hierarchies. Someone who is at the 'top' of one, is at the 'bottom' of another.

We think of the world like this...

When actually it is like this...
