Always a fascinating Alt-History scenario to me: what if the patriarchal societies didn’t win out early on? How drastically different would history had become?

- elliekelly 5y agoThere's a fantastic (and quite funny!) French film "I'm Not An Easy Man"[1] that sort of explores this idea but from the perspective of what society would look like today if gender roles were flipped. I think it's available on Netflix.

- SuoDuanDao 5y agothere's an interesting documentary on a modern-day matriarchy, gave me a good idea of what one can imagine in such a situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_l9D7tEixc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_l9D7tEixc Different in regards to what is probably the relevant question, economic history? Military? Human Genetics? I don't imagine much would look the same.
