DoomsdaysCW<p>So, I've been thinking a lot about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/matriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>matriarchy</span></a> and groups of people. From my own experience, sometimes groups with even the best of intentions can turn into pools of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicMasculinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToxicMasculinity</span></a> when males with egos start trying to run things and boss everyone around. I saw that happen with my own coven, when a member of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIM</span></a> started having the final say about everything -- often overriding our High Priestess (he was her consort). From what I've read about AIM on a national level (including excerpts from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KleeBenally</span></a>'s book, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoSpiritualSurrender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoSpiritualSurrender</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaryCrowDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaryCrowDog</span></a>'s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LakotaWoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LakotaWoman</span></a>), it seems to have been pretty commonplace. So much for Iroquois matriarchy, eh? (The coven-mate in question was Mohawk).</p>

Many cultures, including some <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAustralian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousAustralian</span></a> groups, pass identity, land rights, and responsibilities through the mother's line — a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/matrilineal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>matrilineal</span></a> system,' study co-author Dr. Eline Schotsmans, a research fellow at Australia's University of Wollongong's School of Science, said in a statement. </p><p>"These findings come several months after researchers studying social networks in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CelticSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CelticSociety</span></a> in Britain before the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RomanInvasion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RomanInvasion</span></a> gathered genetic evidence from a late Iron Age cemetery and found that women were closely related, while unrelated men tended to come into the community from elsewhere, likely after marriage. </p><p>"Using an examination of ancient DNA recovered from 57 graves in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dorset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dorset</span></a> in southwest England, their study, published in the journal Nature, shows that two-thirds of the individuals were descended from a single maternal lineage.

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<p>As a <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminist</span></a> and <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a>, I know words and wording matter. They shape the information flow and the emotions of the reader.While the linked article is excellent, I especially commend the Live Science columnist, Kristina Killgrove, for including the meta byplay amongst scientists pointing out how the study authors used language to hedge admitting to discovering a real life instance of matriarchy. They didn't want to offend some overly sensitive patriarchal man. I'm quoting the section below from the article. </p><blockquote><p>"We preferred using 'female-centered' instead of matrilineal because the latter is about how people define kin," Somel [the study's author] said. "Çatalhöyük households could have been matrilineal, but we think using more general terms might be preferable. <strong>It is always good to be cautious</strong>," he said.</p><p>But Benjamin Arbuckle, an archaeologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who was not involved in the study, wrote in a perspective in Science that "if the sex patterns were reversed, there would likely be little hesitation in concluding that patriarchal power structures were at play."</p></blockquote><p>The columnist goes on to include this:</p><blockquote><p>"This is reflective of the difficulty that many scholars have in imagining a world characterized by substantial female power despite abundant archaeological, historic, and ethnographic evidence that matriarchal fields of power were and are widespread," Arbuckle said.</p></blockquote><p>If you find yourself censoring so as not to offend, don't do that. It will ruin your work and give you a bad rep. Use the right words, then explain why they are right and why others might mistakenly see them as inflammatory.</p><p><a href="https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/ancient-female-centered-society-thrived-9-000-years-ago-in-proto-city-in-turkey" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">livescience.com/archaeology/an</span><span class="invisible">cient-female-centered-society-thrived-9-000-years-ago-in-proto-city-in-turkey</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Anthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anthropology</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Matriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Matriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Patriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Matrilineal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Matrilineal</span></a></p>

Martin Holland<p>Learn something every day! This is so interesting, I did not know this 👇🏼</p><blockquote>"In many Aegean islands, the soil lacks fertility, making it challenging for families to rely solely on agriculture. Consequently, trade and shipping emerged as crucial avenues for income among the islanders. The commercial exchanges between <a href="https://federation.network/tags/Greece" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Greece</a> and other nations, coupled with a significant exodus of men from the Greek islands to work on ships, resulted in a notable shift in land <a href="https://federation.network/tags/inheritance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inheritance</a> dynamics. Typically, land ownership passed to <a href="https://federation.network/tags/women" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#women</a>, as their permanent presence was seen as a safeguard for its integrity, and ownership of land served as a dowry."</blockquote><a href="https://newlinesmag.com/photo-essays/in-a-greek-village-one-of-europes-last-matriarchal-societies-is-near-death/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://newlinesmag.com/photo-essays/in-a-greek-village-one-of-europes-last-matriarchal-societies-is-near-death/</a> <a href="https://federation.network/tags/matriarchy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#matriarchy</a> <a href="https://federation.network/tags/patriarchy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#patriarchy</a><p></p>

Imagine the surprise when they found out #bees have a #matriarchy.

"For as long as two hundred years, natural philosophers and even beekeepers were willing and even eager to distort their closely observed accounts of bee sociality in the service of maintaining the power of the bee “polity” to analogize, and thereby to authorize, prevailing norms such as gender hierarchy in government, the superior usefulness of male labor, or the chastity and monogamy of women."
