Children need healthy mothers.
Mothers need healthy communities.
Healthy communities need children.
That's matriarchy. 🌀

A matriarchy is a social structure where mothers and children are at the center. The idea that every human being originates from a mother is reflected in the cultural norms of a matriarchal society.

Without the undervalued work and labor of women, our societies would collapse overnight.

Matriarchy literally already props patriarchy up. Who does the free care work that creates economic units for governments and corporations?

Gift economy is buying your friend a spa day because she had a hard week. Gift economy is bringing your freshly postpartum neighbor a few meals. Gift economy is petting a dog.

We already all do gift things to others all the time, for little things. Why not for big things like housing and food?

Could be. I hope not 💖

Patriarchal empires are much like patriarchal families. Everyone has to buy into the lie that the head of the hierarchy is the “strongest”. But the moment everyone stops believing it, this narrative (and the power structure) crumbles.

Will we see matriarchy in our lifetimes? Yes, because otherwise we will go extinct.

My essay on matriarchy being the next wave of feminism went viral (again) on TikTok over the weekend, reaching over 400k people.

The matriarchy movement is growing. Read the essay here:

Patriarchal values are killing the planet. Matriarchal values are the only way forward.

A matriarchy is only as strong as its matriarchs: people willing to practice matriarchal values in their daily lives.

Democracy and patriarchy are incompatible.

I hate to break it to you but countries as a concept are patriarchal. We can never have a matriarchal country. Only a matriarchal self-organizing and self-sufficient community.

Love that. I am excited to learn more about permaculture.

Empires always fall. It’s time to create egalitarian matriarchal communities. #matriarchynow

Matriarchy does not mean women rule. It is a social structure that centers care and nurturing values.

We already know patriarchy is the problem. Matriarchy is the solution.

Under matriarchy, life is all about the local. Empires and large “democratic” countries are too large for a single person to have agency unless you’re near the top.

Humans operate best when we have agency over our lives, and we can only do that in local egalitarian communities. AKA matriarchies.

Only a society that devalues motherhood would force it on us. This experience should be chosen, a sacred honor only undertaken when ready and with abundance and support. Patriarchy can never provide this.

Patriarchy always collapses in on itself. Empires fall, people revolt, children are traumatized. We need to build matriarchal communities again if we want to break this vicious cycle.

Matriarchy is the most logical, life-affirming way to structure human society.
