| Jan 24, 2013 at 20:03 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | I'd agree. However, that is exactly this question, so the content of your comment probably ought to be in your answer. :-) | |
| Jan 24, 2013 at 17:52 | comment | added | RI Swamp Yankee | I'm not certain anyone can argue that there has never been a matriarchal society. Hopi and Iriquoi probably qualify, as does the Mosuo culture in China. Here's an article about some matrilineal/matriarchal cultures in India: socyberty.com/society/matriarchal-societies-in-india | |

Hence the denial from many of there ever having been a "true" matriarchal society in all of history. It wouldn't be the first time a scientific community has overreacted in this way. | |

It really should be read if you are interested in this topic (or even if you just heard all that talk repeated as serious science back in the day). | |
