A Question For Women...

Would you be offended by a person who wants to promote Matriarchy? This person has sexualised women being in control of society however they aren't necessarily fantasising about being sexually dominated they are fantasising about a World in which women have control, where men's opinions hold no power and that men must treat women with the upmost respect... basically women have all the power but instead of it being limited to sexual acts it actually becomes a way of life.

I have this desire to promote female power but I am actually curious to how females see this idea so another question would be what do you think of matriarchy?

I know people like that. Guess that to be expected with my background.

I don't have a problem with matriarchy nor patriarchy that are in small contexts and with the informed consent of those under such systems.

In large general scale, yes, I would oppose it. It wouldn't work. Because it would simply be unrealistic and will require the sacrifice of the minority needs.

Now as a fantasy, you said "sexualized", that means it is sexual fantasy that doesn't include direct sexual dynamic. I would find it problematic if it is obsessive in nature and seems to affect daily functioning, and also in cases where it implies some sort of regular fulfillment.

@Miram I'm not certain why people think it isn't practical as societies have survived patriarchy but I agree that equality is optimal, as I say to others I'm just wired differently.

I have sexualised female dominance and I suppose eventually it wasn't enough so I incorporated it into my attitude on a non sexual level as well.

@Misanthropic

You might not be wired as differently as you think. There are contexts where matriarchy is normal or being normalized.

Both, my mother's and father's tribes are matriarchal.

Patriarchy in large scale isn't good thing. It was forced and caused a great damage in many lives including mine. I grew up away from the extended family and was exposed to religious and political patterns of control due to my father's choices and my mother's.

While I take on many leadership roles outside the home, I am more comfortable having my partner in charge of everything related to us and our home.

You will find someone into your preferences, it is rare but possible. I have been in dominant role too at some point.
