The Mosou are a civilization of around 30,000 people situated around Lugu Lake, roughly 30 miles in circumference, tucked away high up in the Himalayas in Southern China.
![[Image: 001aa0ba6dbd09cd9f8c32.jpg]](http://images.china.cn/attachement/jpg/site1007/20080626/001aa0ba6dbd09cd9f8c32.jpg)
They settled the land sometime around 1500 years ago, according to documents from the ancient Han Dynasty. They have had precious little contact with the outside world – the Yuan Dynasty garrisoned troops for a time in their lands, as the Mosou have a practice of “non-resistance.” They had no standing army or possess any weaponry as a result of their pacifistic tendencies. While the men of the society did engage in trade with other cultures, they did so on what was known as the Tea Horse Road, or the Southern Silk Route – other cultures did not come into Mosou lands – until recently.
The second notable encounter was when the communists seized control of China and they sent anthropologists and government officials to scour the land for all inhabitants. The final encounter was in modern times, as many other nations took an interest in the Mosou; most of the interest has been generated by all manner of left-winger, including feminists.
A Society Of Matriarchs
The Mosou are famous for being representative of a matriarchal society or a gender-equal society. While the society, from an anthropological perspective, is considered a matrilineal society. Men used to make up the highest level of society, but that has been worked out for centuries. Women are the face of power in Mosou society.
Regardless, this is the apex of a matriarchy. While the West may resemble some sort of matriarchy – especially at the bottom – the Mosou are the society that revolves around women and women’s sexuality. A family’s lineage is traced through the side of a female. A male will always belong to his family – the leader of which is a woman relative. They have no appreciable advances of technology in their history, nor any intellectual achievements of any stripe.
Truly, this was and is a society a society frozen in time, a beneficiary of severe isolation – a civilization that should have been ground up and tossed aside into the trash heap of history. Now, this aberration exists as a sort of utopia for gender equalists.
A review of the sexuality, marriage and child-rearing is necessary. Simply put, there is no marriage. No formal vows and no formal recognition outside the general knowledge in the community that a woman is mating with a man, or a male is a father of a particular child.
There is a popular misconception that there are no fathers in Mosou. That isn’t right, but it would seem that way from the West’s perspective. Once a child hits puberty, like any society, there is a series of rituals engaged in by the community to celebrate the child’s growth into an adult, both for boys and girls.
The Walking Marriage
Girls are given a room in the family home (which is a compound comprised of four separate structures) and boys are expected to come to the girl’s home and woo her – this is what is referred to as a “walking marriage.” Boys are allowed to come and go purely at the girl’s discretion. The process is generally referred to as mutual love and affection; but it is purely a function of a female’s lust towards a particular male. The process operates purely at night – always. The wooing process is often non-aggressive on the male’s part. They may throw rocks at a girl’s window; they may linger outside the gate to the family’s home until he is called in by the girl. While the matriarchs of the family – a single, usually elderly female, referred to as a “Dapu” may veto a particular male, it is rare and the young female is in control.
The famous concept of the promiscuous Mosou female isn’t on point. The more appropriate term would be serial monogamy. Women often rack up notch counts right after puberty – obviously feeling out for alphas – but don’t usually reproduce until late teens. The father is usually known because the females weren’t having any relations with men they didn’t want to sleep with. However, since fatherhood is considered more a determination of the woman, she can pick out the man she desires to be the father – provided they were sexually active with one another (a context I picked up).
This process goes on at night – forever. While there is social recognition of sexual relations, the men only mingle with their sexual liaisons and baby mommas at night. After the day’s work, they travel to what village their female lives in. Early on, they may exclusively hang out in the woman’s room. After childbirth, the fathers or boyfriends typically eat with the woman’s family and engage in traditional familial activities – sometimes including cuddling with their children. If they retire to the woman’s room, there may be sex, maybe cuddling, or nothing. Regardless of what goes down, the man leaves at dawn for his own family’s dwelling, to begin the day’s work.
Mosou Men Exist For The Service Of Women
And so it goes for the traditional Mosou man. His mother or some other female relative is the head of his home into perpetuity. He will never live with a woman that is not related to him, he will never live in a room by himself – unlike females. What he earns, produces and creates belongs to his family – obviously the decision of what to do with it is made by his Dapu. He is involved very much in child-rearing – but mostly of children his female relatives conceive. There is definitely a gendered division of labor, as males typically do the heavy labor, traveling for trade or work, and the generally distasteful jobs. That is to be expected, as women are not wont for these sorts of jobs, nor are proficient at them. He will raise his female relative’s boys. Further, as one source astutely observed, “Boys are not regarded more than girls, girls are actually preferred.” Three cheers for gender equality, eh?
The research I read had a bizarre level of praising the society for lacking competition, intolerance, etc. According to them, the society is a harmonious and equal society. Unsurprisingly, there is much praise for the lack of psychological issues, violence and unhappiness amongst the people. I don’t trust the veracity of these claims to begin with; however, the researchers clearly came to Mosou with rose-tinted glasses.
Not Quite A Utopian Society
I will tackle two common misconceptions that revolve around the lack of the word “rape” or “jealousy” in the language of the Mosou that will wrap up my review – and highlight the problems with the worship of the Mosou by feminists.
First off, the Mosou have no written language. As expected with a female dominated society, there has been no progress intellectually or technologically – although many sources emphasized their “rich oral tradition.” Further, there is a word for rape, it just is rare. As is most crimes. My theory is that crime exist because there is a real role in the culture for men, plus they are subjugated by the females in their family. There just are no examples of males competing against other males, plus there is little need to lash out for resources, because a man’s Dapu will provide for you.
As for jealousy, of course it exists. There is a word for it. Further, there are examples of conflicts between villages with the intrusion of the modern world into the Mosou’s lives. The articles I read most assuredly conveyed that it was the brute, capitalistic influence that brought jealousy and covetousness into the lives of the Mosou.
No. The Mosou are humans. They have feelings, which include anger, jealousy and the whole gamut of a human’s feelings. The general theme of harmonious, hand-holding bliss isn’t true. The fact there was and are elder councils where disputes were hammered out proves that there were and are conflicts. They just resolved them in ways that didn’t involve in violence – so what?
Women are far more likely to resolve disagreements through female channels – the subtle manipulation of power through language. Women get together and create or enforce hierarchies based on their ability to manipulate the other women – usually their own self-assessment of their sexual value comes into play. This is a very undeveloped point of my argument, so take it as you will.
However, the cracks in the narrative are apparent when you read enough about the Mosou. They are a female-centric, matrilineal society that creates for men a subordinate role based on being a workhorse for jobs women don’t want and which men women want to sleep with. Men do have a clearly defined role, and do get to see their children, albeit at the approval of the mother and her family – there were no examples presented of a man being denied to see his spawn, however.
In the end, the research I found was too protective of the sex lives of women to get a clear view of their society. This is very predictable. While there were weak exhortations that gendered labor divisions are not right, it was clear that the feminine imperative was in full force – guarding female choice of mate.
This is the heart and soul of feminism – unrestricted hypergamy. The fact women were not castigated for their choice of mate or inability to label who actually is the mate is repeatedly praised.
At any rate, this is the apex of a matriarchy. A stable society based on female sexual choice, male subjugation to a matronly figure and a complete lack of social progress. This was and is a society supported by their geographical privilege for their existence. That is what it is – a relic preserved in the mountains of southern China – a relic that so-called equalists are chasing as an ideal.
This ideal is just an illusion; just a mirage in the desert. Chase it, and you will come to your demise. Understand it, and you will understand why patriarchy is civilization.

It’s conventionally spelled ‘Mosuo,’ or ‘Musuo’ or ‘Moso’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosuo
You’re quoting from wikipedia…what do you expect in terms of grammar and sentence structure?
All I know is this: such a society as described in the article is a hell hole…here’s a good idea: Western women want gender equality, then move to the Mosou society…just go….leave the US already…hell holes are befitting for women like them…
It is because they are “famous” or misrepresented as being matriarchal. But I would say that they’re not, simply due to the fact that political matters are dealt by men. They’re definitely matrilineal though, and they aren’t the last ‘matrilineal’ race or the only one that’s out there.
“While the society, from an anthropological perspective, is considered a matrilineal society.” Sentence fragment.
“Sentence fragment” is also a sentence fragment.
So the lesson is…if women ruled the world, we’d still be in the caves.
But we’d all have equal sized cave dwellings.
No, the women will all live in equal sized cave dwellings. the men would all live in one room like cattle
the problem for the 21st century alpha is that he’s neutralized in holding his family unit together because the need for out right protection and physical strength is almost zero, while female’s mating habits haven’t caught up with technology yet……
this old system has a few benefits….. not least that the man is not encumbered with co-habitating with his woman and kids…… that is where most marriages these days die…. because poor alpha becomes second in command to his wife and ends up running nanny, maid, and housekeeper duties, instead of leaving that to grandma, female cousins, sisters etc.
it would be better to build mini communities of 20-30 women, and 20-30 men…. let the women do their thing, and the men do theirs and meet on certain nights of the week for a fucking session
Those who have man caves in their homes will easily adjust…
sooo, a group of armed men can easily destroy this egalitarian (not really since men serve women) society? WHO IS WITH ME? NO? NO ONE? ok
A bunch of alphas come in and take over…those women will dump that society in a heartbeat.
Destroy, as in introduce iPhones, iPads, and the like? Yup, that would do it.
No need. They are so few that they will either go extinct on their own or be fully assimilated.
There’s a reason why the Han is the most successful ethnic group in human history. Largest population, longest continuous history, largest economy until the last 2 centuries. Confucian patriarchy, hierarchical world order, intense competition, moneygrubbing, status-whoring, xenophobic assholery wins over this primitive matriarchal bullshit anyday. They don’t even have their own country.
This sounds nearly identical to the “Master Race” of humanity gentetically engineered in “Onyx & Crake”, one of Margaret Atwood’s terrible “speculative fiction (not science fiction)” novels. They’re utterly technologically primitive, have only a rudimentary language, and males are incapable of arousal if the female isn’t willing. Maybe she was writing tongue-in-cheek, but I suspect that such anarcho-primitivism – with female mate choice guarded – is precisely the world feminists would like to live in.
Savages.
Actually, Atwood probably lusted after that sort of society.
We’re talking about Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale — which posits that any sort of society in which women don’t act on every hypergamous instinct is equivalent to slavery.
I had to read that wretched excuse for literature in high school. Even pre-red pill, I wondered why Atwood was so hostile to men as leaders, and had to go to such great lengths to portray a gentle societal push toward monogamy as pure evil.
Google “dzokhar tsarnaev is hot”. See how many women swoon for him. He has his own fan page. The modern matriarchy will definately collapse society as we all become psychopathic murderers. Oh wait, thats already happening…
Women in charge. Our society will become like the film ‘idiocracy’. Ha. Will they also eventually wear placards saying ‘will [email protected] for food’?
If the Mosou are as superior as feminists claim, why aren’t there more matriarchal societies that are organized like them?
That destroys the entire argument for their way of life right there. The Mosou are the only known matriarchal society of any significance. Every other society on Earth is and has been variations on the same theme: man-centric, father-focused patriarchy. More importantly, the most successful (economically, scientifically, philosophically) civilizations—Rome, post-Reconquista Spain, Victorian Britain, post-WWII America—have been patriarchal. The Mosou have no accomplishments of any kind; no art of significance, no literature, no technology, no philosophy.
If this is the kind of society that feminists want—a society of moronic, underachieving lotus eaters—-I want out.
Notice how all of these matriarchal societies are in isolation.
Any matriarchal societies that have developed in the past have probably been taken over and dominated by their more masculin, aggressive, patriarchal neighbours.
Correction to author: It’s Mosuo, not Mosou
Either way they’re irrelevant.
Feminine societies waste too much time talking about feelings, morals, and social “issues”, and thus, remain primitive with very little worth appreciating. In China, the only thing most people know about them is that their women are whores. True or not, it just shows how vacant their culture is.
It is aggression, greed, ambition and constant competition that drives civilization. Material wealth, brilliant innovation, political supremacy, and distinctive high culture. Things that actually matter. Feelings or compassion or who’s being mean to whom are secondary concerns.
While I agree that a matriarchal society is likely to not function anywhere near as efficiently as a competitive, progress-oriented patriarchal society, it’s worth pointing out that the argument that all matriarchies don’t work because the Mosuo lack science and written language is no more valid an argument than saying patriarchies clearly don’t work because there exist Amazonian and African patriarchal cultures with no science or written language. The position of “why aren’t there more societies like this” is a more defensible argument.
Also, lotus root is quite tasty, properly prepared, and most Westerners who try it enjoy it immensely. It’s unlike anything in the West.
Not at all. The argument works because there is no other matriarchal culture to speak of. While there have been patriarchies of all shapes and sizes, this is the only successful matriarchy we know of and it is backwards as hell. If advancement was possible in a matriarchy, wouldn’t we see more of them?
Lotus root is abominable.
Define science.
Yes, Spain under Queen Isabella and Britain under Queen Victoria were very successful.
That is not a matriarchal society. That is just a figure head at the top of the chain because the men couldn’t agree whom to allow to be king. Women are practically useless apart from childbearing and sex. They used to be good for cooking as well, but that’s long gone now.
Which is why gay men have a shorter life span than straight men.
I should go take over that town with a lighter and my farts. The town sounds like a backwards shit hole that no one cares enough about to destroy.
Thank you. This was the best laugh I had all day. “with a lighter and my farts” and I was giggling to much to even type this comment.
“Surrender motherfuckers or I’m farting and blowing all your asses to Tibet.”
It is important to know, though, that the political leaders are men, and that the society has a nobility.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosuo
Matriarchies seem to succeed where there is no conflict and plentitude of resources. This is a rarity in the natural world. Seeing as it was a patriarchy that made the wealth of the US what do you suppose the odds are that a Matriarchy can increase or even maintain it? It would be like giving control of Walmart to a random person on the street and expecting wonderful things to happen.
So. We have living proof of Camille Paglia’s aphorism:
“If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts”
One other question that occurs to me; how many of the brightest and best men stay? If you had the slightest degree of ability, would you put up with this or head out for greener pastures? It wasn’t THAT isolated. They had trading contacts with other tribes.
I’d bet it wasn’t a question the rad-fem groupie academics were too keen to ask, though.
“If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts”
yeah of course we would, because the female prerogative is to breed, and as we know from looking at africa and asia, any peasant can do that, under even the most dire circumstances.
historically speaking, it’s only the colder nothern countries that had to control their habits a bit more, and be organised for winter, and build things to get them through freezing snow and ice each year….
did you know the Swiss make watches for example, because they were snowed in all winter and needed something small and valuable to produce….
that’s northern/ male thinking….
whereas, southern / female thinking, pull a mango off the tree and have another kid…..
So primitive life in the South is easy and all people have to do is pick fruit of trees and lie around and fuck. Making the people weak,
Later you will be saying how glad you are not to live in a savage society because of all the plague, violence and famine. Making the people weak.
Both these broad generalizations can’t be true.
Without modern medicine and agriculture ain’t hard. You either die, or you survive. If you have a penis, you probably die, if you have a vagina, you still die from the plague but the famine will be solved for you and your precious pussy. Whether you die or not is irrelevant. You have no skills that a 10-year-old can’t pick up, and so you are replaceable.
What we know about different species of homo, its neighbouring ape-relatives, and its sub-races is that gender roles depend on access to resources. Class hierarchies & alpha-male dominance is all dependent on whether everyone has access to things. This isn’t necessarily just food. It encompasses everything: from shelter, to “the nutrient of sex”, to material goods.
If there is no incentive to compete, there is no need for alphaism or male dominance or masculine expression.
For Bonobo’s it didn’t make sense for masculinity to thrive because they had access to food resources and ideal living standards — there was no need for the alpha male to exclude food and determine who gets what. Classism and feudalism depends on bloodlines tracing power back to the male, but this was done under the enclosure of legitimate children and “bastard children” — so exclusivity of marriage and sex was set to a certain standard. Bonobo’s are quasi “matrilineal” because they have no idea of paternity except that it was born of Female X.
Humans have always lived in tough conditions — but a rare few have lived under better circumstances, and have thus, never had a reason to compete.
I suspect that covert, massive prostitution is the only reason the Mosou society is peaceful and stable and has a minimum degree of economic development. Otherwise I can’t imagine how the 80% of men that get little or no sex at all tolerate their social order; I don’t think lower testosterone than other ethnicities can be the sole explanation. Prostitution is very extended in all asian societies, in a very discreet way, though. Anyways I think they’re a bunch of pussies that REALLY need to learn game. Roosh, you might want to include that region in your next escapades.
Wow, so many typos. Did you even read this through before submitting it?
And I certainly don’t support this kind of matriarchy, but on primitivism in general, do you really think that we’re so much better off? Look how happy we are with our iphones and mcdonalds! We’re so damn happy! Just ignore the tens of millions of people on anti-depression meds and the enormous suicide rate! Those people need to experience our PROGRESS!!!
I think there’s a new Tom Lehrer song in there somewhere…
“There’s….Cholera, Diptheria, Malaria and Yellow fever; Smallpox, Consumption, Typhus and Influenza. Sepsis, Leprosy and neverending hemorrhagic fevers. Dropsy, Bird flu and gullible caregivers…..”
Prelapsarian idylls, as Hobbes observed, are never quite as advertised. Their lives tend to be as nasty, brutish and short as the feminists who genuflect before them.
Another idiot speaking. If there is massive depression is because we are devolving to our “Matriarchal bliss”…
The Mosuo social structure sounds somewhat like that of the American Indians, pre-European settlement. Fathers took part in raising their kids, but stable marriages were not common, and the men usually wound up moving back in with their parents. And again, millennia went by without the development of a written language or any technological progress.
Exactly. People used to pee in each other back in the day.
Very interesting article. I’ve long speculated that a society’s “greatness” is positively correlated with patriarchy and male gods/heroes. Even today, if you look at more matriarchal type societies – for example some Caribbean islands (despite high “surface machismo”) – their progress is limited, they appear stagnant, and members of these societies seem to have an irresistible urge to stifle the ideas and activity – the freedom necessary to produce the men that lift society up. And among other things, what is feminism if not a stifling force on masculinity.
And what do you know, many women travel there to pay for sex with the men. These men who for the most part, do not work, and are usually not very bright.
Of course, that’s the old and ugly women who can’t get an alpha in their home countries. But maybe they can snag the cabana boy, for just a few thousand dollars of spending money and a green card equivalent…
Are you stupid or what….. Caribbean work and are just as as educated as you Mcdonalds devourers in the states
“These men who for the most part..”
Let me repeat “for the most part”
No reading comprehension, but asking me if I am stupid..
And then like a true hypocrite, gets offended at a stereotype, and responds with one.
What do you mean no reading comprehension -_- I fully comprehended what you said. 2. YOU appear to have no reading comprehension as I didn’t say anything remote to most of the population in the states being mcdonald eating fatties. Rather, if you paid attention, one could interpret the ”stereotype” as saying that of all the Americans that are mcdonalds eating fatties, caribbean people are just as smart.
Lol. ok buddy. My point still stands. Actually, Ill reiterate.
The men who do sex work on the islands FOR THE MOST PART, DO NOT WORK A REAL JOB.
That is it. I don’t give a fuck how you feel about that.
ummm.Kool.

He commented to me initially in a rude manner. So I was justified in my response so you like him as well can go fuck yourself.
Dude…. Barbados, Jamaica,Trinidad and Guyana (Basically the main Caribbean countries, go to them you go to all) are verrry patriarchal. Especially in Jamaica. There domestic violence is common. Oh and in st.vincent the men have the bitches in subservience. you cant make them feel ”less than a man”.
Keep in mind the following is just a generalization; not everyone fits the mold. I use to think Caribbean countries were patriarchal as well because of what, on the surface, appeared to be heightened masculinity. If you dig a little deeper though you realize that this heightened masculinity in reality is just a denial of the feminine (and thus through negation and some psycho mumbo jumbo I won’t go into, it is ultimately an affirmation of the feminine: most of the men have internalized a powerful image of their mother out of all proportion to reality). Families are structured around the female and more often than not there is a female matriarch (the mother, grandmother, grand-aunt, great-grandmother etc.). Moreover, fathers rarely remain home often working long hours, staying out at the bars/hanging with the boys, or juggling multiple families. Without a father figure in the home, the boys are forced to identify with the mother (which they on some level resent her for) and are subsequently forced to exaggerate their heterosexuality (which is also their aggression), and search for their lost masculinity in the company of men. When they get older, the process repeats itself because they are more likely to leave/cheat on their wives (which to be honest I couldn’t blame them for), or in some way try to escape the overly possessive and repressive (and dear I say narcissistic?) women (through work, hobbies, hanging out, etc.)
Um…K
There’s a comic book series that ran for a few years called Y: The Last Man. The plot was about a plague that wipes out every man on earth including male animals. The exception is this young slacker dude named Yorick and his pet monkey. It’s a smartly written story. Rather than put Yorick in this “last man on earth” pussy paradise fantasy, the book’s premise is how the world turns to shit when men are no longer around to do the heavy lifting.
The Mosuo aren’t an exception. The man seem to do most of the work, have a few hours of fun (if they’re lucky enough to catch the eye of one of the girls) and go home and give hand over his paycheck check dutifully to his mom. He doesn’t even has his own private cave for Christ’s sake! The girl get’s it free, paid for, and built by a man.
I say the man that gets laid is lucky, because the Biomechanical God’s reach extends all the way to the Mosuo’s artificial island nestled in the recesses of the Himalayas. What the researchers and anthropologists fail to find out, due to the Mosuo’s secrecy and their lack of balls to ask, is that a lower percentage of
I’ve heard busy-body bitches run on and on about this culture and I find it to be total bullshit. What this matriarchal society essentially consists of is unparalleled regulation of pussy-distribution and total spinelessness on the part of men. What are these “noble matriarchs” gonna do if men stop delivering the goods?
Either way, the US is going pretty much the same way: Men do the grunt work, women control the majority of disposable income, and men have zero say on their children or their marriage. i imagine we’ll be living in the stone age right alongside these cave-bitches before long.
must of musou histories are exagerated by Chinese government to improved turism.
The musou society depends of nomad trade and the males stay away from home for long times to trade goods, and return income to home. Its social structure is very common in peoples living on desert’s like the ancient arabs.
So maybe the guys have a chance to not be so whipped after all?
Aren’t the Navajo a matriarchal society?
Stupid slope whores.
The reality of the situation is that it is conflict, competition, greed, determination, ingenuity and cooperative work that makes or breaks civilizations.
In other words, it is men that make or break civilizations. Men and masculine values.
I guess all that can be said of the Mosou is that they’re geographically cut off from the rest of the world, and resources are plentiful enough that male power isn’t needed.
Australian Aboriginals were equally cut off from the rest of the world, and even more noticeably devoid of progress, but a patriarchal society emerged anyway because male power was needed to secure resources (since the resources they needed tended to run away, or hop in the case of kangaroos)
Pharaonic Egypt was a matriarchy : the male-king exerce the power of her sister-queen. The heir of the pharao was the son of her sister, not of him. There was no sex between the pharao and his sister-queen. The king was just the servant of goddess Isis, his sister-queen, and Maat, his mother-queen, the goddess of the cosmic order.

yes, that all happened just before the collapse of the egyptian empire.
Quote “Women often rack up notch counts right after puberty – obviously feeling out for alphas – but don’t usually reproduce until late teens.”
Do they have access to contraception?
I’m all for gender equality, but how about we fight sexism with respect and empowerment instead of more sexism, feminists?
Because you cannot respect your inferior.
Spot on. Women are fucking useless except for sex and cooking.
oh my god, google has brought me to hell. These comments are insane. So is this article. I mistakenly thought this was an objective observation of a remote and unique culture. I feel like I’ve stumbled into some weird gender-bashing session.
We will never have a truly accurate picture as long as a male is looking at it from his perspective. How many women and children have to die before people wake up to the underlying problem on this planet – male privilege, patriarchal principles that hold the material to be more important than the spiritual and the religious, governmental and societal constraints that keeps us all in this devolution that is patriarchy by definition. One only has to study patriarchal religions to see they are in answer to the earlier tens of thousands year old ways of human society. Those begun by the women who headed the clans, owned the land, invented agriculture and symbolism in pottery – making solid contributions to civilization, even as men take credit for it all. A matriarchy is not the opposite of a patriarchy and in fact, a true matriarchy never existed – but women had power and it was not a power born of violent control and subjugation, but one of unconditional love and it never needed to be forced. We need both sides of our brain for that is the struggle here – how does it cost any man to admit the past and to work towards a more equal future (suddenly that’s a dirty word???) There’s one thing to take from this articles – each gender seems very happy with the way things are. That is something to study. Is it too much to say human-kind instead of man-kind? I mean it’s two freakin’ letters. You owe your mother that much at least.
Its really funny: You don’t really get your small brain categories. You see what you see and its full of anxiety to be “put down”. All the wars we know in history startet with this thought as men see this EVERYWHERE where they are not _boss_. Western men… You saw no intellectual and cultural advances? Well… white men did not see them as well with the indegeneous tribes of Northern America or elsewhere. Just… because there was no written down stuff. They where so obsessed to defend their supremecy of their always insecure little egos that they where not able to see that the tribes knew thousends of stories by heart. Their brain was trained to retreave an unbelievable amount of data immediately. Western mens brain is not able to remember a simple number or has to train for days or weeks to remember a text… well… written language is superior. Totally ;). This is a tribe you are talking about! An indegeneous tribe! Do you say men led indegeneous tribes to be inferior without written language? It is so funny that you think an indegeneous tribe led by women (while men there always had leading roles for presentation of the tribe to the outside), is a clear sign of the inferior intellectual properties of women if they are not technically advanced or have no written language. Smart boy ;).
You and your kind of men will be sort of history in future or you and your kind of men will destroy us all. By not being able to see what is precious whith generally ALL humans which are DIFFERENT to what you are or what you know. All you know are small and narrow categories always led by a brain full of ego fear and thus the wish to defend what you think you are. Thats why racism found its origins in male brains. Your views on women is nothing but racism. You are blind and lead other blinds. The world is full with this kind of tragic. Go on. Do what you do…
Surprised that no one has bothered to wipe them out yet. I guess because it’s a whore infested backwater town, nobody cares enough to destroy them.
Return of Kings, you spelled “Mosou” wrong. It’s suposed to be spelled like, M-O-S-U-O. Not M-O-S-U-O. Please get it right… Some people have OCD ya know
OH MY GOSH! There are a lot more societies like Mosuo, check out minangkabau people for example! They are not isolated, don’t have walking marriage, have written language, they are pacifists and matrilineal like Mosuo!
