Good day to all,
and, humbly, to the Women on this site.
I have just discovered the site, it seems wonderful, and I am craving to explore it.
Here, I hope to increase my chances to meet, in time, some meaningful relationships, and hopefully, one day a Female who might consider me for a serious relationship in which She will lead and decide over me..
Gynecocracy is the natural order, at least if you look at the animal world.
The most populous of land based animals (excluding asexual microscopic life) are insects. There are numbers of instances where after mating, the female kills the male and eats him (praying mantis, spiders – OK technically not an insect).
Female insects are generally much larger than the males.
In social insects like ants, bees and termites, the colony has a queen who the entire colony must serve. Male insects in these societies are few and are either expendable soldiers or exist solely for the purpose of procreation. Other than that, they don’t do much and are unimportant.
Moving up to the avian world, we find that a male bird’s purpose in life is to look pretty and sound pretty. Bright plumage and bird song exist for the entertainment of the females. Male birds go through very elaborate rituals to court a female and SHE chooses whether to mate with him.
Mammals, to which we belong, are also female-dominated societies when they live in groups. The center of the herd consists of females and juveniles. On the periphery are the males who stand guard, and are the first vulnerable to attack. Although they are fewer in number, they are expendable. Males fight each other for breeding rights, but even the winners are nothing more than sperm donors and don’t do anything important other than defend their right to breed.
It was probably this way in early human societies. Women formed the core of the mini-society while the men went out scrounging for food.
It is only when we became “civilized” (moved into cities) that societies took a turn towards male dominance. We detached ourselves from nature, organized ourselves into city states and nation states, exploited land, sea and air, developed new and better weapons, learned the art of organized warfare and started preying on each other.
Respectfully, I think Mule minizes the role of the male mammal, whether we’re talking about elephants, zebras or humans. Males provide half the chromosomes of the species and are the primary protectors of the species. Now, of course we could get all chromosomes from a lab and feminize human society but no one really knows if that would be psychologically sustainable and I doubt that it would be. I’m a trekkie and I see males and females commanding starships in the coming centuries.
