There is no such thing as matriarchy anyway you people don't understand the difference between matriarchal society and matrilineal society it is not a matriarchal society it is just a matrilineal society where only grooms go to brides home and women are the providers or head of the family but not the protectors. Men are still protectors and head of the society here people always mix them up patrilineal is not patriarchy and matrilineal is not also matriarchy

Matriarchal is the most logical system. The women decide who they spend the night with so the males must be nice, sweet and good under the sheets. They can always change their mind and invite a new male so the males better perform well.

On a day-to-day basis, there is not so much difference between this and a patriarchal society regarding who is responsible for what. Women: family, Men: anything else on the labour market. But the feminine values are more respected here.

@h1nsicon 10 ай бұрын

the difference being that in a Patriarchal society men are heads of the family AND the society, which often leads to women being seen as less than men and being oppressed in Patriarchal societies. In matriachal societies, even tho women are often times the leaders, men arent seen as less and dont suffer under matriachal societies

@@h1nsicon That's what he said. He just didn't say it your way. He was expecting a reversal of values, where the women are the breadwinners and the men stay at home in the family, but that wasn't true here. Instead, they have a softer society where women are still family focused and men are still career focused.

Yes, because these societies are not really matriarchal, they're matrilineal, the ultimate source of authority still resides with the men in society.

@@h1nsicon The problems is that this small doc doesn't show the whole picture, professional anthropologists that have worked with the Mosuo for many years and have written books about them all agree that this society is not matriarchal but matrilineal, the source of ultimate authority still resides with the male. In these societies women have more predominance and leeway inside their homes because in the dynamics of the relationship but in other places in their society the male authority is more clear like in religious ceremonies, the economic administration of the tribe, etc.

She said that they're more monogamous, just like the outside world. But I wonder how true that is. How often is it that they have one night stands? How many partners do they have on average in a year? It's not like they just choose one guy and let him climb up to her window for the rest of her life, right? It's not like the father's don't know who they're raising, since they can guess by when she first got pregnant, or is it because they are in a solid relationship? I wonder how often is it that a man chooses to stay in her house and just talk to her? Maybe some people think that when he climbs up there he has to have sex. But more than likely, since women are naturally slower, most of the time, at least early on, something more romantic is probably happening than the booty call implied.

@SugarMakesMePOP 5 ай бұрын

The Mosuo people practice serial monogamy. In another documentary I watched, (Zuo, 2007), some of the men described having 3, or 4 relationships in their lifetime. You could compare it to being married 3 or 4 times throughout your life without the formalities. Another Mosuo man said he had only one relationship throughout his life. It's not the same as one-night stands, but who knows there may be exceptions. A Mosuo person wouldn't be intimate with another partner without ending their current walking marriage. An interesting part of Mosuo culture is that the woman's brother(s) help raise the kids. The men traditionally live in their mother's homes. Essentially, the uncles have a huge part in raising the children. The biological father would then help raise his own sister's children so he still has responsibility.

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790 5 ай бұрын

@@SugarMakesMePOP Thanks for replying. It was very informative. If that's the case, then they're far more monogamous than what we have in America today. It looks closer to my actual love life than it does the average American. In my tribal culture the uncles used to help raise the kids, but it was only the maternal uncle(s). But the children also still lived with the father. I kinda figured that they would pitch in and be the male figure of the children's childhood. It reminds me of how I used to stay over the weekend with my aunts. Sometimes I'm not really sure how much American family members are supposed to pitch in childhood rearing. Certainly the uncles of Mosuo culture take care of their sisters' kids every day. I think when I wrote that I was pretty upset with how the narrator was portraying it.

@delphiajune2096 9 ай бұрын

To take care about house, garden and family is work too. Look up a more in detail documentation about the Mosuo and you will learn that women are often more working than men in this society. And this btw is the norm everywhere in more rural areas. Travel around Africa or Middle East and you can see this phenomenon.

They are govern by morals this video is too short to even know what is going on, man and woman have to work and their family is for life unlike marriage which makes people poor. In order to survive, they learn to support their blood related family. They see the man as a outsider as they do not share their own blood and the man should assist to help his family bloodline instead of hers. They have such low cases of dna related disease because woman does not not choose man based on their assest or money (due to the woman's child belongs to her instead chooses a man based on his character, health, personality and charisma. They jus feel that love should not be the most important thing in life. Working and sustaining family and they have much freedom in their society. The family unit its assets and property is not diluted and most of them have been to universities in cities and wonder why people are so poor. And their crime rate is so low that they do not even have locks in their homes. No rapes, theft (until tourism arrives) and no one is being put down even if they are homo, plus they can choose to not have sex with anyone too. It is a gender equal society, so after learning them i could sort of understand why marriage is slavery and a form of capitalism. dougales book (i forgot the name)
