According to Eller, feminist thealogy conceptualized humanity as beginning with "female-ruled or equalitarian societies", [324] until displaced by patriarchies, [325] and that in the millennial future "'gynocentric,' life-loving values" [325] will return to prominence. [325] This, according to Eller, produces "a virtually infinite number of years of female equality or superiority coming both at the beginning and end of historical time".

Increasing the number of women in political and public positions is important, but does not mean that they real power. Women in public life are often subject to sexism and prejudice. Women are less represented in the sectors and positions with the most power.a b "The view of matriarchy as constituting a stage of cultural development now is generally discredited. Furthermore, the consensus among modern anthropologists and sociologists is that a strictly matriarchal society never existed." Encyclopædia Britannica (2007), entry Matriarchy. When we hear the word "matriarchy", we are conditioned to a number of responses: that matriarchy refers to the past and that matriarchies have never existed; that matriarchy is a hopeless fantasy of female domination, of mothers dominating children, of women being cruel to men. Conditioning us negatively to matriarchy is, of course, in the interests of patriarchs. We are made to feel that patriarchy is natural; we are less likely to question it, and less likely to direct our energies to ending it. [19]

The Mosuo culture, which is in China near Tibet, is frequently described as matriarchal. [72] The term matrilineal is sometimes used, and, while more accurate, still does not reflect the full complexity of their social organization. In fact, it is not easy to categorize Mosuo culture within traditional Western definitions. They have aspects of a matriarchal culture: women are often the head of the house, inheritance is through the female line, and women make business decisions. However, unlike in a true matriarchy, political power tends to be in the hands of males, and the current culture of the Mosuo has been heavily shaped by their minority status.

Rasa von Werder has also long advocated for a return to matriarchy, a restoration of its status before its overthrow by patriarchy, along with associated author William Bond as well. [194] The term “femdom” is short for “female domination”. It refers to a relationship dynamic in which the woman is the dominant partner, and the man is the submissive partner.
