Matriarchies tend to prioritise community and shared power, while patriarchies are typically more hierarchical.

Is there evidence that one produces better societal outcomes?

What jurisdiction do you have in mind when you think of a matriarchy?

Not entirely sure, but the Mosuo people come to mind.

They seem quite free and open when it comes to sex. Interesting.

My thoughts:

1. M will generally do better in bringing about a more universally inclusive feeling among members

2. P will be more productive overall as a result of inherent competition with a strong projection of power.

3. M will generally produce less innovation and eventually be subjected to more external threats

4. P will produce a more cut-throat society driven by the laws of evolution.

That is my hypothesis.
