A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex, however as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.
“We are in the process of reviewing the implications of the ruling and will consider any necessary updates to our policies and practices in line with the law and national guidance.”
There are around only 65~ listings there.
Very few appear to be actual countries or kingdoms and are instead obscure religions, folklore, books, or pages about philosophers.
And even then, a lot of the few societies listed aren’t even matriarchies, they just have different laws in terms of inheritance that favoured women. So saying “matriarchies aren’t uncommon” isn’t true at all, you’ve just demonstrated that they are extremely uncommon.
Most anthropologists hold that there are no known societies that are unambiguously matriarchal, at least no matriarchal society that have completely excluded the opposite gender from roles of authority.
Thank you for proving my point by admitting that there are exceptions to your “women are always subjugated by men” claim.
