following from wolf's and blurb's posts....
the old traditional polynesian cultures were matrilineal from what i understood. men were responsible for warring for turf, fighting for turf, gaining turf, whacking heads, explore, expand and getting more turf and territory.
women were responsible for bringing in the fruits that the land their men gained dominion over. they got the poi, papaya, pigs, pakalolo, and whatever the conquered lands had to offer.
women get to order society and decide the most worthy men to breed with according to their fun/tastes; maybe it's the super schlong for one; maybe the super surfer for another, humorous artist, spear thrower or whatever.... i don't know or care in this equation....
the rub is this: is the perfect society where men get to live/hunt/explore/fuck as they choose and not have to worry about the consequences (knowing that mama society will take care of their kiddies/and them whoever the daddy?) aka the totally alpha life...
or is it to stay close to the village and play the wahines? (which is a bit beta (and possibly fuck more) to be sure...)
(yeah this is a bit apocryphal/possibly racist of pacific islanders so i'll apologize in advance if i offend you...)
