I am very suspicious of this. There are a few remaining gynocentric societies, and for that matter much of Africa is weakly gynocentric. But no war? No rape? No murder? Not even a fucking word for war, even though they are aware of other civilizations? Are you fucking kidding me? That sounds like unvarnished horseshit. Cultural anthropologists these days consider themselves advocates rather than scientists, so I would not be surprised if that is not true at all and merely propaganda from a hardcore cultural Marxist who despises Western civilization, men, and white people.

While this is generally true, that cultural anthropologists and sociologists, as a rule, are hardcore leftists or cultural marxists, it's almost irrelevant because of the following point:

Quote:

It may sound bizarre to a Western visitor, but anthropologists say because the men have no power, control no land, and play subservient sexual roles, they have nothing to fight over — making this one of the most harmonious societies on the planet. The Mosuo people, estimated to number around 50,000, have no word for war, no murders, no rapes, no jails.

This would mean that they would be WHOLLY unequipped to survive in battle against any other tribe. The only reason they did survive was presumably because they were so isolated. We know from studies of hunter gatherers, and the general course of history, that violence has always been prevalent. That is why a configuration like the Mosuo's is so rare.

Of course, that society is a leftist dream. They'll claim it's desirable because there is no violence, but just as desirable to them is the inversion of the distribution of power between the sexes. Furthermore, a Mosuo-like society is completely at the mercy of any rival society with a warrior class. Put these Mosuo next to Sparta, and see how long they remain independent.

And that's another essential element of this leftist dream - this can only work if EVERYONE were to submit to it. Failing that, they would lose miserably to the first invasion.
