Meet the Women Living in What is Known As Europe's Last Matriarchy 

If decision by men, it never Matriarchal.

Well the prime minister is female and the last president was also a female. And women are allowed to own property. And a lot of them do.

@@Inxxuu Yet a man's opinion is what's final, thus' not a matriarchy.

@@Aberrantly - I think that depends on a family. This video was kinda taking everyones individual situation and tried to apply it on a general population. I live on a neighbouring island. The stereotypical joke about is that we are matriarchal, but the truth is that we are neither. Both grown-uos have just as much say and every family has different dynamic going.

😂

Men are still providing for the family

Always been fishing

It would be fully matriarchal if one day their men instead of fishing would go to another country and never come back.

@The Primordial Soup thanks. That's exactly what I said

@The Primordial Soup Less tedious work? less responsibility? earning money working in fields to feed and financially support your family is no less tedious. You do know the world is not all hugs, kisses and dancing and all your physical needs go away. If you asked me these women are living a way lavish life in comfy homes rather than like their husbands working in the fields, building houses, fishing. From reading what you said isn't that your definition of matriarchy? less responsibilities and less tedious work? well there you have it. And making life altering decisions for yourself is not patriarchy or matriarchy it's called being a normal human being making your own decisions and not letting another person make one for you. For example if your bf or husband forced you to get a breast implant would you want to do it? well ofc not it's your decision at the end likewise making a life altering decision for these men on the islands has nothing to do with what society they live in, it's just part of being a human and human rights.

@@jakeleo624 you are men talk are bias and misogyny at all. Women should go outside earn more money and financial, because independence and save herself.

I agree with you, is not matriarchal culture and still gender stereotypes and brainwashed women by men idea.

@@alwayshangrygirl463 Ignore the Jake Leo, men always think he can control decisions on women, he allowed such cultures because women are give birth machine and maids to please the men in household. They don't want women go outside, fishing and freedom without the men. The matriarchal is not like that.

Even women have some benefits in patriarchy .

Good

What do you mean? What does this video mean by women in charge anyway. Even in cultures commonly agreed upon to not only be male dominated, but even misogynist, have situations when women would be in charge instead.

​​@@SylkaChan they dont have situations when women are in charge in this society. Women are always in charge

somehow equal doesnt seem to exist - if there was a system that doesn't dictate roles in families -anarchy is probably the closest concept to allow the choice. to allow replacing incapable /abusive people holding positions. democracy is a great idea but the problem is the distance between people and decision makers. voting ? usually 2 strong organisations that either represent the same greedy men or similar greedy men behind them. and thats where choice ends. voting for any of those organisations will mean i voted for pollution , war , lies and corruption. unfortunately the communists were so successful with their anti anarchist propaganda ( 'chaos' 'lawless' etc) that the idea does not stand a chance. so me i am so ready for matriarchy because it can only get better and the last 2000 years was long enough to prove patriarchy works. it doesnt

The social evils which exist in Patriarchy does not exist in Materniel societies, Matrinial or equality is the best choice not Patriarchy.

@@Aditi-mb3qm so if women were to rule, its good. İf men were to rule, its bad. Sounds like sexism to me.

@@euphoric1183 Have you seen or read about any I mean any Matrinial society? If you haven't than I don't have have time to waste after you.

@@euphoric1183 I am replying as I feel bad for your ignorance now if you understand than great 👍but if you don't, than don't bother commenting as I won't bother replying😊. Let's go! Forget Matrinial societies for a moment, Even in our main world the most Happiest countries in the world like Denmark, Iceland etc.has female Leaders. The most gender equal counties n the world like Iceland, Norway , Finland etc.has ruling female President or Prime minister. The countries with most effective Covid 19 countries like New Zealand etc.has ?your right if you guessed, Female leaders. Even in our country India if you're not Indian I will tell you in India there is Kashmir issues because of it Kashmir is not safe for Tourists. That issue is existence even since our Independence from the British. But during the reign of our first female Prime Minister, Kashmir became surprisingly safe because of her many decisions. Not only that soo many good things happened that none of the male leaders until now are even capable of doing. Even today many Indians say that Females are more capable of everything even decision making and ruling more and better than any men. Even many old people accept it. If women are given chance they make the world a better place they even takle terrorism and crimes more better you can see by how many places considered safest on the planet have female President or Prime Minister. Even in Matrinial societies even though female rule, rules are shaped in such a way by women that men cannot be discriminated against as men have equal rights there is no domination of either gender. Even many crimes which exists in male led places don't exist there even if both the places have equal population. So you can see men ruled for so many years the countries and the world is spoiled and unhappy but Women even in such less time they are capable of doing great things and take effective decisions than one can't even think when power is in mens hand. See I am not sexist women can't even be you can tell it just by having some knowledge which I think you must have got. Women are usually interested in developing the people and the world but it is not the case with men if it would have been than places were men rule would have been like the places were women rule are or even better but see the places were women rule are more better, safe happy, equal and many more good things exist in those places were Women rule but never were Men rule. Because in those places all have power but where men rule only men rule and only they have rights Women always have to fight it us not the case in the places where women rule there men don't have to fight for equality are people there are more happy. It's the fact and the reason why Patriarchy is ending in many places. Because Women:Power from Inside Men : Power from outside In Patriarchy only outside power exists but society even need power from Inside. In Matrinial or Places were women rule both power exist and men have power unlike in Patriarchy were only men have power that's the reason.

It's all in the eye of the beholder anyway. 👁‍🗨❇

It's all about how its potrayed

​@@GoWokeGoBroke_Opressing still is opressing, even worse when you are in a position to be so good for humanity but they choose to be the Devil.

There's no evidence of any truly matriarchal culture in which women hold a// the power and make a// the decisions. There are matrilineal and matrilocal cultures, typically on a small scale, and this has to do with inheritance and family structures. But when they get larger, men always take over.

Some kids already live in a matriarchal society. Something like 40% of children are raised by single moms and spend most of their days in daycares and public schools where they are surrounded by female teachers and administrators. These young boys rarely see a man whom they can emulate and they are surrounded only by femininity. The young girls never see a man who has worthy qualities she should look for in a husband. The lack of male influence in the lives of millions of young children is leading to carnage in several communities across our land. Civilization was built by men, it was nurtured by women. That’s the way it works. Women never built a broad based country, institution, or civilization from scratch, they supported what the men did. The female role is important and complementary. It’s just different, not less. Matriarchal society would be naive, ridiculous, weak, indecisive, and easily defeated. Just look at the poor bastards raised by single moms who consistently make poor decisions. That’s what society would look like. Our society and country has further weakened due to feminine influence in everything from schools, to the playground, to military policy.

These women leaders have gone to war. * Margaret Thatcher * Queen Mary I of England * Mary, Queen of Scots * Joan of Arc * Catherine the Great * Catherine I * Golda Meir * Indira Ghandi * Queen Anne * Queen Elizabeth II * Cleopatra * Isabella of Spain * Maria Therese * Empress Maud * Catherine de Medici * Eleanor of Aquitaine * Zenobia of Palmyra * Boudicca * Benazir Bhutto And these: Hillary Clinton U.S. Secretary of State Confronted Pakistani leaders for harboring terrorists, advocated for a troop surge in Afghanistan, and warned Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi that no option is "off the table" for taking him out. Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh Pursued a major offensive against Assam rebels, who had warred against India from Bangladesh's northeast for more than three decades. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner President of Argentina Revived the Thatcher-era struggle over the Falkland Islands, calling Argentina's claim to Britain's resource-rich land "inalienable." Angela Merkel Chancellor of Germany Vigorously defended Germany's involvement in Afghanistan (while remaining cautious on a Libyan intervention), even as domestic opposition to the war has grown. As for the question that women do not tend to violence, there are women murderers, serial killers, and female Nazi torturers like Ilse Koch and Irma Grese. Check out Katherine Knight and Elizabeth Bathory. And female child killers like Susan Smith. Additionally, women have killed their own children equally as frequently as men have. Perhaps there are only fewer women leaders who go to war, because there are fewer women leaders. The queen had no skin in the war, she stayed safe at the castle, the king on the other hand was sent off by the queen and had to lead the army into battle and kings often did not return

Cool

What is the song at 0:14 called?

Females because they can and it’s effortless

@@titaa56 Its you again :o

Of course men, who else?

Is not matriarchal, is patriarchal. Watch the video again, is liar. The matriarchal is umoja

@@user-tk7hg7wi3p matriarchy fails

@@Matt-ir7gx forsenBased

@@Matt-ir7gx never. Patriarchy has been destroying this planet. Patriarchy is cancer to this Earth. Matriarch is nourishing and life giving and peaceful. It goes hand in hand with planet Earth. It is why evolution made females to live longer than males. She values the female rather than males. This is also seen in the animal kingdom. Doesn’t matter what you say or think. Can’t change biology.

On the contrary. Matriarchy creates violence, poverty and misery.

Patriarchy is new in the ancient world most societies were Matrinial.

@@Aditi-mb3qm that is not the same as being matriarchal

@@oritafilms But the women were the head of the family and family was trace by Matrinial line even in many old kingdoms only females were allowed to inherit the throne and land .

@@Aditi-mb3qm BS there is no proof of this..stop trying to invent history as an excuse to overthrow some imaginary male tyranny

@@oritafilms look at reptiles and their roles Same goes for some birds like peacock where male dances and be pretty to attract females.

In order to not be significant I guess.

Not, is you. because you want women living under the men in the household. Patriarchal already show how control by men.

@@user-tk7hg7wi3p the women here are utterly reliant on the men for income and survival while they prance around. The men on their fishing ships are the ones having any serious discussions. It is not anywhere close to a matriarchy here. The men are simply controlling their women by keeping them away and from being raunchy messes toward them.

Also patriarchy is a staunch indo european trait. Even if they were a matriarchy, it would be a new invention, not the last matriarchy.

@@RiverogueLander You are partially correct but not totally. Patriarchy is the default condition for most societies. Indo-Europeans did accentuate though. Also,if you are an Angloid,then you are of mostly Celtic Origin,who again were Matrilineal.

By their standard patriarchy is were men are dancing all day long, and women are fishing ;p

Your kind chose to create wars and unhealthy work conditions. Not women’s problem.

@@missxmarvel women in power are much more likely to start a war than men, did you know that?

@@adri5008 That’s a lie, I’m the Spartan days men went to war and when the women were left behind crimes dropped at 80% keep dreaming.

@@missxmarvel im referring to a paper titled "queens" by Oeindrila Dubey, you should be able to find it. i would be interested to have a look over your source

@edwong3 except later the isreali force retracted their women coz many women were caught by enemy men and raped.. Stop the capr

No. Trans women are just men pretending to be women. They're still males.

Sexist much?

@Tillerman lolumadbro

@@BurtBartlow He's not mad, just normal, unlike you

@@WeatherMondacicci so anyone can rewire a house. Got it.

@@BurtBartlow If they have the right training, yeah they can or have you forgotten that there are schools for electricians? Wow you are obtuse!

@@WeatherMondacicci agreed. Any of those schools on the island teaching these chicks?

Do you like your women to wear strap on too?

To me, seeing muscle as a dominant thing is a patriarchal world view as well. Thats how man dominated the world, through muscle and brute strengh. Why does woman need to be more muscular tho? A woman doesnt need to be physically stronger then me to dominate me, just her energy is enough. Thats the world we live in tho, the physically stronger dominate the weaker, adults beat and brainwash kids, man beat and rule woman. See that is not the wiser and more compassionate that rule. I understand that that is a personal thing of yours but is just my rant :D

Fetishizing. Go pay for your kink.

@@LeandroAlmeida108 being muscular is what both genders can achieve to be physically strong so why not?

@@LeandroAlmeida108 There are woman who are taller and muscular and many men like that type . Relationships should be union between 2 people be it hompsexual or hetrosexual respecting and loving each other keeps the rlnship going dominating one another will end the rlnship soon . male show their physical dominance and strength to impress woman even in wild not to beat and rule woman even female in jungle are badass they are not submissive when a lion hurts a lioness she nowhere cries but rebel against it and together they make peace between them . Evolution made men that way to impress and protect not to abuse women as woman give birth to next live or generation so she should be protected with her child thats her physical strength that she can give birth to next life . Gender are different so strength is different too . women are better nurturer and men are better protector both have roles in society and should be equally respected. Physically strong beats weaker is applicable in food chain not within same species of opposite sex if male in wild started beating females then either the female dies or gets injured and will not be able to survive and the kids survival will also get difficult without their mother as mother is the primary caregiver . Again men strength is given to protect women if instead of protecting they are dominating in a bad way and abusing women then they cant be called protectors but are abusers.

Not supposed to be
