Matriarchal. Strictly so. Mostly because females are able to sing the Sacred Song (aka magic) whereas males are not which led to a strong gender division.

Our nation is formally titled as a matriarchy, but that's only because it was founded by a band of women. Any sexism against either gender is long since past, and the only legal difference between Lunas Verde and any patriarchal nation is that names are passed down through the female side of the family (children take their mother's name). It makes the legal system much easier.

OH MY GOD YOU CLICKED IT! You are AWESOME! I like you! You should listen to this band and be even more awesome!

Eating fetuses is MURDER & CANNIBALISM. This is one reason why abortion should be banned. People will probably eat fetuses when abortion is made legal.

Matriarchal at the very highest level, but in the corporate-owned lower levels of government males are far more common. This has to do with the fact that females are far more charming and socially intelligent, in other words they make better dictators. However males are more spatially and numerically intelligent, so they head more corporations and research facilities.

Being elves, we are used to rather matriarchal structures, though theres strong movements for equal rights for men in our culture and we eliminated most laws that took men into disadvantage.

We have equality, but in the traditional Voerdish society women were considered stronger sex and they had more power in the politics.

Postby Rafu » Wed Aug 04, 2010 3:26 am

The society of Rafu is highly patriarchal in structure, with the dominant male in a family being responsible for the bulk of the decisions made. This is usually the father, although in cases of large extended families, an uncle or grandfather may fill this role. The family patriarchs will often work closely with the Ministry of Selective Breeding to form an extended social network, helping to arrange marriages.

If a family patriarch dies or is unable to fulfill his role, his eldest son will normally take over for him. In cases where the family heir is too young to effectively be responsible, the mother will usually act in his stead until such a time comes where he can function as an adult.

Women are often highly respected in their families, and a high proportion of family patriarchs will take advice from his wife on most decisions. The mother is often more of an authority figure for the children.

Legally neither, but society views it as a man's role to defend his women and children and lead them through life. The government is mainly male based, very few women hold high up positions but they are entitled to.

Patriarchal of course, men have always and still do, have power in the government and combat roles in the military are for men only.

Patriarchal mostly, while women can vote and can run for political office, they can NOT join combat roles in the military.

Theoretically egalitarian these days, but still essentially patriarchal. Our Dark Lord, Darth Arcadius, likes it that way. Feminists are shot on sight.

Matriarchal in culture, but neither when it comes to professional fields such as military, economics, and government. Both males and females are in the government, the high ranks of the military, and other prominent roles. Besides, in Redslavian culture, both parents are expected to work to help the state achieve maximum efficiency while the grandparents, uncle and aunt, or another entrusted guardian care for the children during the day (The parents still have plenty of time with their children, however.) Both genders have the same emotional, psychical, and intellectual strength in Redslavia, so the argument that "One sex is the weaker sex" is completely moot.
