Neither. Both can go fuck themselves. I believe in social hierarchy. Helluva a lot better and less retarded since anyone can advance. I don't want women running my life and I don't want Alpha men trying to run another Alpha's life.

Let's not forget. You need a man and a woman to make a baby. If men are nothing then there's no future except a mass population drop (which is great).

why wait for the future? the past and present already prove the irrationality of your statements.
men and women evolved alongside one another. women to protect the eggs. men to protect the women. the truth is that women cannot protect themselves. thats not sexism. think about the vulnerability of a pregnant woman. why does everyone give up seats for the pregnant woman?
because they are weak. and thats not a bad thing.
Ha-ha I love men but this is bs!
Seriously! Women don't need men we want men!

That is actually not true. I don't think you should make assumptions. Plenty of women who thought of themselves and did nothing but evil, for example- Queen Mary I of England, Magaret Thatcher (at least I think she was a bad leader), Empress Wu Zetian, Isabella I of Castile, Ranavalona I of Madagascar, Elizabeth Bathory. Must I go on?
Agreed. I'm really sick the selfless stereotype of women. It's just not true.
And we have patriarchy to blame for that

That and the selfish decision to carry upon themselves that they could do whatever they want with their power because their royalty and you have to agree. Same behavior noted in men, the only thing that stopped them were armed uprisings, people stabbing them in the back, and the senate/congress/council removing them of their power.

That still takes place in a world where royalty is given power to rule by God, and in that narrative the ultimate expression of power and femininity is sacrifice and selflessness like Christ. Same thing in Hollywood scripts.

Emotionally charged leaders make me raise my brow. Important decisions must be considered rationally. In any case, neither.

Patriarchal
Way back when we started off as a matriarchal society. Once cattle started to be used as property and for trade, it turned patriarchal since men wanted all the goods and property they were getting from this trade to be passed down. If they didn't do that, they wouldnt be able to pass their property down to their kin. After that, the roles switched and females couldn't pass down property. Just a little history.
Personally, an egalitarian society sounds better than either.

Going on from the abuse of powers of other people over time. Those who are suddenly given a position of power don't exactly know what to do with said power especially when you're given the power of millions lives in your hand. Most of them get their poor examples from the people who led before them or from a ruler who happened to do poorly and they sought to correct and right the wrongs, bring something new to the table, or do exactly as I said above and go crazy with the amount of power they have or have the potential to gain. Some even do it out of restoration of dominant ideas or religious faith in the case of Queen Mary I of England so they follow their own example on how they should be handled or do what everyone else does and kill them. A patriarchy isn't to blame. It's simple ill will, good intentions gone bad, or a simply having so much power they don't know what to do with it and in the end the power controls them. It's comes down to nature vs nurture. Not patriarchyclick to expand
But patriarchy was the flawed and dangerous idea that they created. It was pervasive and it contaminated most, if not all aspects of society. Even if abuse of power is the root problem, the fact remains that patriarchy is the destructive and sexist institution that was created. So I think tha
@Jahlia Okay I see your point, but how is it the dangerous idea they created? How could it have been created? What influenced it to take spread? Why did no one throw an armed uprising at three of England's Queens? Maybe there was a never a law in place in Renaissance era England that stopped women from becoming Queens. Maybe you can say a patriarchy fell apart when you have Elizabeth I there to prove how great of a leader she is with her leadership skills matched second to none, same can be said about Elizabeth II. Dammit why am I on about England? Anyway yeah

The list of male leaders who did just as much evil is twice as long. Let's start with the Roman Empire. Caligula, Nero...
On the one hand you have Elizabeth Bathory, on the other you have Gilles de Rais.

I'm sorry Tiz i didn't get your question. Could you re-phrase that man?
Let's say you have a society based on hierarchy like you want. How are you going to make sure the people at the very top of your hierarchy don't abuse their power? Or that anyone from below doesn't suddenly come into power themselves? That's a natural risk of hierarchy.

There's no honest way to make sure no one does abuse their power but putting them through peer evaluation and limiting over just exactly what they have power over via checks and balances is a good way to limit the power abuse. And you can always engrave something in stone that says "this shit has to get by a council of ten people before it can be passed" which can guarantee that there won't be an override of power from the top. If the council don't approve then it's not happening. For below, they could always go through a process that puts them in line as a successor to the top dog via evaluation of their leadership skills and what they can handle. Damn I think I just described U.S congress lol
As you said, there's a lot of dishonesty in that in reality. The law in countries that have a parliament or congress is built to be exploited through loopholes. Effectively it's not really hierarchy in it's purest form.

That's not always the case. The Checks and balances have to be very heavy and everything would need to be micromanaged to work properly. France ain't too bad. They don't seem corrupt there,

*If I could live anywhere else.
*puts the popcorn bowl aside*
We have a wise saying in Russia that goes something like "Man is the head, and woman is the neck", yet it is still traditoinally interpreted as patriarchal model of a man being the leader and provider, while woman keeps the hearth. In a way, Slav women let their men lead the way, but in such a way that if we need something done our way, we let men believe that it's them who are in charge. We don't practice range shooting at the male ego in public, nor even 1 to 1. It's an art of female subtlety of suggestion.
In biological and lengthy historical sense, it is the way to go.
As far as USA goes, I'd love to see it revert back to something close of the 60s society model, with perhaps some modernized concepts here and there.
Female dominance is a pretty disgusting concept, unless you're serious, and planning to go all the way and do the Mr(s) Jenner thang to solidify the statement.

Lol
you're comparing patriarchy vs patriarchy.
There's no logic in looking at years/centuries of patriarchy, identifying a few things about it that you don't like and saying "well this must be what matriarchy tastes like."
You'd have to actual look at the evidence of what a matriarchal society actually is like from the ground up. Like in regions of India or China that have been that way for millenia.

Yeah, well I was also thinking about the Chinese Mosuo tribe where women take a different man to bed every night. Like a big swingers club. It's amazing. No more jealous manlets and no bitter women. Both of the excuses and resentment you're highlighting from either gender in a system that still sees only bi-gender relations is a product of patriarchy as we've experienced it. Let's face it, when any section of society is made out to be helpless and passive then they are absolved of responsiblity and make excuses. The best example was that thread in relationships lately over Germany and legal sex workers. The hypocrisy was comical.
