Thank you very much for the offer and the positive and encouraging remarks. As regards my writing an article, I would be happy to oblige, but I do not know how to go about it or where to start. At the very least, I would need a thesis question.
I agree with every point you have written, but, nevertheless, your text is extremely general and the reader is hard-pressed to determine the basis of your arguments. I think that you have came close to revealing it, however, in two places. The first one is in the passage where you wrote, “[…] it might be a point of pride and ego that the man is traditionally in charge […],” because the leadership dynamics between men and women do tend to be different. Indeed, leadership by men does seem to be a point of pride and ego, so much so that it becomes their pet project or “baby” and they become obsessed with it. They hold on tight to it, their thinking becomes rigid and they want to cling to power until the end, hoping to make a vast fortune and an æternal name for themselves. Women (barring definite exceptions), on the other hand, do not seem to be as enamoured with the taste of and for power or of leaving their mark and acquiring riches as men seem to be. They see power and leadership as being beneficial for their family and friends, not just themselves, and they seem to attract power and leadership, rather than seek it, as their male counterparts do. Finally, they seem to be driven, not by ambition, but through a sense of duty and responsibility. This leads me to the second place in your essay where you seem to reveal the motivations of your defense of modern matriarchy. It is the place where you write: “Modern Matriarchy is meritocracy in its purest and simplest form.” Again, i agree with you, but, while you define what you mean, you do not expand on it, by explaining yourself. So, I shall take over, if you do not mind: There is something wrong, corrupt and unmeritorious about seeking and acquiring power and leadership through selfish ambition, the way men typically do. It is a whole different story, however, when it is achieved through selfless devotion and responsibility that are the hallmarks of maturity, typically exemplified by women.
Hi Neal. Thank you for this. You are correct; arguments could always be stronger, and that's why I haven't published lately - I've been writing and rewriting. Matriarchy is something that seems intuitive to me - and perhaps to you too - now it's a matter of turning intuition into argument. I especially liked your last part "There is something..." - nicely said. I chose to publish now rather than wait, to quote Voltaire "the perfect is the enemy of the good." And besides, I get to hear from wonderful people who take time out of their day to help.
No, i do not see matriarchy as intuitive at all. Instead, i regard It as worthy for consideration and i also feel It to be inevitable, especially since life and the world seem to operate in cycles.
I definitely agree on the world operating in cycles. I believe the pandemic forced everyone to sit still for a minute, and for many, to reprioritize their lives. It will be interesting to see where society goes from here.
Back at the beginning of this year 2022, i also would have postulated that Matriarchy was gaining ground, because the world was starting to embrace one of its more popular precepts: that of making love, not war; but i think that we currently have sufficiently regressed, such that that postulation would not find much validity right now. On the other hand, an argument could quite well be made right now for an immediate implementation of Matriarchy on the basis that the aforementioned precept of making love, not war, is urgently needed.

I would have loved to have been a kept man. Then all I would have to worry about is the treadmill and making sure my wife doesn't cheat on me with her boss.
Matriarchy is the future. I fully support your ideas on this. Thank you.
Sure

Is it okay if I email you Neal?

Neal, if you would like to write a guest article, I would be happy to publish it. You have been making good, substantive points.

It's not about being a kept man. Everyone should find the family arrangement that works for them.
Oh, I know; I just have a dry sense of humour.
