The Women's Kingdom 

Thanks for the information! And it sounds like heaven to me :)

Michelle Jewell Actually that is another misconception. Men still do work like farming and tending to livestock to contribute to their clan households; however women are expected to be the main providers. In patriarchal societies men are the primary, if not sole providers of the households and thus do all the work. A Mosuo woman might find patriarchy appealing if she thinks that it only means she can be "barefoot and pregnant" without a care in the world while the man does all the work. However, the Mosuo are aware that women in such societies are really not free at all and are controlled by men. Feminists and other groups often complain about their "rights" while they fail to recognize that with rights come responsibility.

LordInit yeah right. Everything I have seen benefits only or mostly men. No wonder this system has abandoned world wide. In no feminist fan, who knows me can attest that Im the most anti feminist gal on the planet. However I have to rebut your statement. Most or if not all feminists knows or accept the responsibilities that comes with "rights" and equal treatment. Have a nice day.

Michelle Jewell And you base "everything you have seen" on what?.. A few youtube videos?? Have you seen any full documentaries by ethnologists, or better yet lived among the people?? How do men mostly or only benefit when family property is controlled by women and passed exclusively to daughters, and every major political decision must come from matriarchs, and even the native religions are dominated by goddess cults presided mainly by women? Oh yeah, and even though there is no sexual double-standard with female promiscuity being normal, the man must prove his worth to each and every female before he is accepted as a lover while the female does nothing for him but allow him in her bed. You are obviously not aware that in some matrix societies like the Khasi and Jaintia of northeast India, there is a 'masculinist' movement with 'Men's Rights' organizations where men demand "equal rights" and an end to "female oppression"! LOL Also, you are definitely ignorant about world history if you think the matrix systems were voluntarily "abandoned" by the natives instead of being infiltrated and outright conquered by militarily more powerful patriarchal cultures. Such was the cultural pattern that has repeated throughout history and was especially accelerated by those patriarchal cultures that were imperialistic. The majority of Native American nations and tribes in North America were matrix until white colonialism for example, and anthropologists estimate that about 80% of the world's cultures were matrix by the 1st millennium CE. The matrix cultures of North Africa were all but eradicated by Arab Islamic culture, while the matrix cultures of Europe were totally wiped out by the Roman-Christian feudal culture. Many feminists are anti-Western because they mistakenly assume that "patriarchy" or male domination is European cultural heritage only. You yourself are a white woman of European heritage, but did you know that by the end of the Roman Empire 2-3rds of the farmland in all of Europe were originally owned by women?? It's called *cultural genocide* or _ethnocide_ and it's something that is perpetuated by imperialist cultures. And no I'm no "feminist" fan either. 'Feminism' is a social movement that was largely created in the West by white women as a way of liberating themselves from male control and gaining equal rights. But that was back then, and women in Western nations today have more rights and opportunities than they did before, which makes one wonder why feminism still exists. My original point is that there were cultures where women were never dominated or controlled by men. The Mosuo is one, another is the Bontoc of the Philippines from which my mother's family comes from which is why I tend to have a keen interest in matrix cultures and mother-right customs as well as having some historical knowledge on such.

ok first, I will appreciate if you stop calling me ignorant, when you dont even know me. Meanwhile you make outlandish claims out of the blue by yourself. There is no evidence of widespread ancient matriarchies around the world ( no women did not own all the land in Europe, please) and I know what happen to the natives since I live in this damn country. Show me some sources an give me names, rather than just claim this and that. Hello, Im not born yesterday. I saw this documentary and at the least the Mosuo is pure BALLS. Beside Im a egalitarian and a mono gendered hegemony is to limiting so its pure crap to me. However I am a western gal, I hate spiders I play computer games and I dont go along with other women, not to mention I hate my mother. I dont fit in any matrifocal/matriarchal society. When the feminist arouse (suffragettes/first wave) patriarchy in the west was already dyeing, partially because of the industrial revolution and partially because of WWI. If patriarchy was still strong, with hell they could get anything. The majority of western feminist are middle class privileged white women. Other groups are trying to take over, because frankly those bitches are to embarrassing even for the feminists. You wonder why they still exists? because people with power, men or women, love power and they want more. So it will not be easy to get rid of them.

No kidding.

That’s the only thing you look at? Really? How disrespectful!

Yes, she is.

What a series of bullshit, You Need to study, mosuo culturs Is dead

variable-sweep

I think the women in this culture have also managed and succeeded in taking on both traditionally masculine and feminine roles due to strong sisterhood and female friendships that many western cultures in a way have failed to do so because of things like envy, jealousy, and competition amongst other western women.

Yes,and the others who were Interviewed!

@@Typhoon911 No it is not, quite far actually

@@sonam1959_ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosuo_women

Sorry, in which society are men held to account for their adultery? I don't recall any "honour" killings of men.

@@bluewren65 right, you don't recall...

Wrong on all counts. How can you say it doesn’t work when it’s been in existence for over 2000 years? That’s as long if not longer than the Roman Empire. The desire to marry Han men who will “take care of them” is a fantasy created by TV, their recent access to internet and outside cultural influence. They will soon find out by hard experience what a bad idea this is when they experience domestic violence and are all alone in the household without their blood family memebers to protect them. In addition, they will get a BIG wake up call when they find themselves having to work both inside and outside the home without the help of their female family members like many women in the west and east do. If you calculate the hours men and women work inside and outside the home combined, women work more. So that whole “men will take care of us” fantasy will soon end. Finally, there is no diving responsibility for children here at all. You may not as a man take care of your biological children but as they clearly said you will take care of the children your female family members have so in the end it balances out and all men have to take care of at least on each child. Unlike in this patriarchal society where deadbeat dads are a thing. They don’t look after their children nor there female family members children. It’s in this society where it’s truly possible for men to not take care out the outcome of their lovemaking not that one.

You come across as bitter.

Emma Frost shut the fuck of feminist bitch.
