I'm looking at the modern era and the one directly before it. When one goes any further back than that you are looking at societies that really have little to nothing in common with the societies we see in the world today. It would seem the more "enlightened" our species has become, the fewer matriarchal societies have existed.
Actually, the fewer of any gender dominated societies exist.
Okay, and do you let the kids and the pets have a say in your society too? I hope so. I mean we wouldn't want to leave anyone out of the equation, would we? In any social situation there can only be one leader. Anything beyond that is mob rule.
Since when do kids or pets have the same reasoning and mental capabilities of full grown (competent) adults of either gender? I would gladly test every child out there, especially teens, to determine if they could truly be considered an adult, instead of going by age (I'd be willing to bet you wouldn't like this, since girls generally mature faster than boys), but it isn't practical. We instead pick an age that seems about right for a majority of young adults to be considered mature enough to be said to be adults. Men and women can easily be compared, using competent and rational tests, to have equal mental and reasoning capabilities to each other, on average, particularly once they reach their early 20s.
