I am neither a fan of Patriarchy nor Matriarchy. Both enslave women as walking incubators and gestators.
In a Patriarchy, women are forced into biological roles. Madonnas and whores are preferred and encouraged by men.
In a Matriarchy, women themselves take on domestic slavery. A woman's value lies in her being a mother, loving Nature and such bs. Men get to laze around literally as women do the bulk of the work in the community. The Mosuo, while not exactly matriarchal, work along similar lines.
One aspect where Matriarchy wins is that women won't be seen as sex slaves/raped to the extent seen in Patriarchy.
Gender roles, whether Matriarchy or Patriarchy, are actively enforced. Biology is worshipped in both systems. Women who wanna break away from biological chains dont have a welcome place in neither system.
A hypothetical Matriarchy isn't a liberating alternative for the modern, emancipated women. Same way a Patriarchy hounds such women with the motherhood enslavement, the same will happen in a Matriarchy. It literally means the rule of the 'Mother'.
Imo, women are better off alone. Any system that depends on biological roles is suffocating to a woman who uses her brains. Or, women ought to live together, in separatist communities. I don't see it happening in either a Patriarchy or Matriarchy.
If all of us BPF women can live together, like an island or sth, it would be wonderful. No biological nonsense. Just women living their own lives the way they want.
