Ever since humans developed culture, man/woman has always been as much a social concept as a biological one. Men & women developed different in-group cultures, adopted different clothings & hairstyles & were socialized into different behavior patterns. That's why we have gender.
I've always believed that the #genderbinary is a cross-cultural, ahistorical phenomenon. Homo sapiens are a sexually dimorphic species after all. There are considerable in-group variation and cross-group overlapping, however, so exceptions may apply.
Some feminists believe that before #patriarchy, there was #matriarchy, but there's no evidence for that. Yes, there were matrilineal societies, but that's far different from matriarchy, and why do they think matriarchy is desirable while patriarchy is evil?

My personal #thread on #Matriarchy.

The past two days I've received a LOT of criticism regarding my tweeted views on Matriarchy.

The definitions vary, but to me, stand for the strength, power & roles of women in culture or society.

When I share my Native views, some men panic.
To these men who have a visceral reaction regarding women in power, I understand. I really do.

In a society, where we've been taught the viability of patriarchy, you have learned that lending power to the feminine will inevitably cause you to crumble.

I'm asking men to unlearn.
I am Mohawk.
I am a man.
I am strong.

I respect the strength of women.
I respect the leadership of women.

When I am in a role of leadership - I listen to the guidance of women and elders.

All of these statements can exist at the same time.
