The gender that dominates (apex)
A matriarchal society.
In a matriarchy, women hold primary power and roles of leadership, while in a patriarchy, men hold these positions. Matriarchies are less common historically and in present-day societies compared to patriarchies, which are more prevalent across cultures. Both systems involve power dynamics based on gender.
The word 'matriarchy' is a noun, a word for a family, community, or society that is ruled by women; a form of social organization in which descent and relationship are reckoned through the female line; a word for a thing.A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.Example sentences:A matriarchy as a political system is often debated by scholars. (subject of the sentence)My mother ran the household as a matriarchy. (object of the preposition 'as')
patriarchy
The feminine counterpart to patriarchy is often referred to as "matriarchy." While patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and dominate roles in leadership, moral authority, and social privilege, matriarchy signifies a system where women, particularly mothers, may hold central roles in social, political, and economic spheres. However, true matriarchal societies are rare, and the term is sometimes used more broadly to advocate for gender equality and the recognition of women's contributions in various domains.
"Patriarchy" is a word formed from the Greek word "archon" which means "ruler". A mon-archy is a state ruled by one ruler (from the Greek word for one, monos), an olig-archy is a state ruled by the rich, and an-archy is a state without a ruler. From the word "patrus" meaning "father" we get patriarchy, or rule by fathers, just as matriarchy is rule by mothers. No character in Romeo and Juliet is named Patriarchy, so it makes no sense to ask "Who is patriarchy?" Patriarchy is not a person, nor is it an adjective so you cannot ask whether Friar Lawrence is patriarchy any more than we can ask whether he is distance. Is Verona a patriarchy? Likely. Is the Capulet family a patriarchy? Certainly. Can any individual be a patriarchy? Never.
A culture where the women are the heads of the family is called a matriarchy. This is where the children and husband live in the wife's house, the children use the mother's surname, and perhaps inherit through the female line.
