Good point Granite. Welcome to the city of non-believers.

Off an on. Last I knew he was working for S.W.O.R.D. He can talk, too.

Sociologists admit to failure in both the long absence of an acceptable and reliable definition for a cultural Matriarchy for societies that have existed in the past, and the equally obvious failure to specifically point back to matriarchies of the past with any real argument to claim them as such.
Yet, they recognize that these matriarchies have existed, like pornography.
They know what prongraphy is when they see it, but they can not define pornography legally enough to ban it.
It has been my Sociological Hypothesis that the defintion for a Matriarchy be based upon the evidence for a crushed homophobia in the men such that Gays are safely out of their closets, acceptable socially, and intntional and intent upon advertising their presence and sexual availablity.
The argument for this centers around the fact that their exists this cultural power of women which has so thoroughly forced the more normal and even instinctual homophobic reactions in men unground and unexpressed publicly.
The clear difference between, say Iran, where the government officially claims there is no Homosexuality in their society, and the Western societies, where the women adore and enjoin themselves with the Gay community defines a patriarch comtrasted with all the things that we mean by a society that is a matriarchy.
Example:
I t is Germany, 1928. Raucous laughter from the cabaret seeps outside as Lotte passes in the shadows of the cold Berlin night. The streets are sexually charged, lined with a heady concoction of prostitution, homosexuality, transvestism and drugs. Still spinning from the collective lust roaring unashamedly through the theatre that evening, Lotte heads now for the café bar at the Eden Hotel where she lives. Jostling with leggy glamour girls as she takes her drink, Lotte pushes a straying strand of short hair behind her ear, settles her slender trouser-suited body into the deep folds of an armchair and smiles provocatively as she lights a cigarette.
Berlin's interwar reputation of hedonistic decadence and debauchery is familiar through scenes from Metropolis by Fritz Lang, images of Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel by Josef von Sternberg and stage productions of The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht. A ferment of artistic and sexual experimentation, the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) privileged an outpouring of cultural creativity in the Bauhaus movement of modern art and the development of the International Style in modern architecture. Against a background of inflation and depression, Berlin drew the talent and energies of the rest of Germany towards its glittering cabaret performances and burgeoning sex tourism industry. From within this hotbed of frenzied immorality, supposedly constitutional sexual equality worked to create the myth of the sexually liberated and financially independent 'New Woman' in Weimar German society.'
Coming from a fount of world wisdom, maturity, and knowledge like you, that's awfully rich.

Actually, that's true: they're a sign that homosexuality already is accepted, taken for granted, and simply not a big deal anymore. It's less, less, and less taboo. Dinosaurs like you are outdated. Bigots like you are increasingly ignored. You see gay characters in comic books--and seriously, why don't you read actual literature for a change?--as an insidious kind of agenda to indoctrinate youth. I just see yet another medium that reflects a completely transformed culture.
It's not. That. Big. Of. A. Deal. Anymore. That's what you wackos just don't get. You already lost. This isn't a "sign" of what's to come, it's an indicator of the world you already live in. This isn't a conspiracy. It's the 21st century, Brandon. Wake up and smell the java.

Oh, I agree. My initial shock came from remembering just who cleaned up the "decadent" Weimar culture. Since dave brought this up I'm sure he knows full well who I'm talking about...

Well when one compares America with Islam, in general, it becomes clear that matriarchies exist whether Sociologists can define the them with Objective barometers.
The one thing that does seem ture about women is that they are very fond of men who do not want to use them sexually, but cab be assets that dress their hair and paint their makeup in irresistible ways that attract men who do want to sexually pay for the pleasure of their company.
It would appear that these two, the Gays and the exploitive charming irresisible females are in the same business together.
So that they appear in matriarchs so dominantly, both together in the same social culture, is a rational and serious idea, indeed.

Dumb in an evil kind of way.
