    I haven’t encountered people really advocating for a matriarchy (except the Barbie movie for some reason) so I don’t really think it’s a popular belief

      Wasn’t the matriarchy in the barby movie done specifically to parody the patriarchy in real life?

      They aren’t so much advocating for it as using it as an obvious 1 to 1 allegory.

        Yeah but at the end of the movie they reinstate matriarchy and give kens a bit more power, and I found that to be such a 180

          Yea, that movie didn’t really explore the problems well, more of just made fun of the whole situation. I liked it about 1/5th as much as most, apparently.
