Matriarchy on first thought would look like a stereotypical male’s worst nightmare!
But really would a matriarchy be a world run by feminists?
Matriarchy doesn’t mean a world run by dominant woman who like to rule (that would by definition make them patriarchal), but a society that nurtures and cares for the people in it.
When I hear matriarchal, I hear mother and everyone who is a mother knows, a love for a child has no limits. It gets tested to the limits, but it doesn’t change that love and if we can apply that to society and nature, then that could only make a world a better place.
The way I envision a matriarchal society is one that would want to look after the environment, nature and all the people who share that purpose. Most people could find a role in this society, that wouldn't not be run with an iron rule (patriarchal), but acceptance that we can all contribute to earth in some manner.
The precept of nurture could go a long way in a matriarchal society and a society bathed in that, would benefit the world, by perhaps slowing down the environmental damage already done, looking at the things that are important to not only our survival, but the survival of the planet.
After all, caring for nature and animals brings out the best in many people and it is this world that sustains us all. If there were no trees, we would not exist, as we simply would not be able to breathe.
This care and nurturing of the earth is not necessarily just a matriarchal or female trait, but one that can be construed as for everyone, when we look at the point of view of the society being one, whose sole purpose is to look after our planet.
Yes, the only way I see a matriarchal society working is if it harnesses the energy and feelings of motherhood, that can be extended from our own children to the world at large, even if it just to the physical world.
The thing is though we are all different and one glove will never fit us all.
The best we can achieve I think in this day and age is to create pockets of likeminded people who have same dreams and goals and people should seek the group/area that is aligned with their own life purpose.
I think a society where people are true to themselves and can be who they want to be would be the ideal scenario. There would be far fewer misunderstandings, no hidden agendas, just what you see it what you get.
Again the key is acceptance.
But all of these concepts are just fantasy really.
Not a lot that one person can do about society, except escape it the best they can!
