According to my rather incredibly-extensive knowledge [[choke]] I would say that Lab is pretty much correct. A true matriarchy extends all the way down into the family unit itself, not just determining who has overall political control. However, I have read of a time that existed (well before Christ) where people simply did not know exactly how babies were started, thus there was a lot of spiritual belief about it. Women were revered and OFTEN put in charge, and that did extend to the family unit as well. But, apparently during that time there were still men who acted as leader of other tribes and "clans" and such.
However, I don't believe there was any time when the entire earth was ruled by women like it is now by men. It's just the way it is. The saying "anything a man can do, a woman can do better" is nice and all for rallying the spirits of women, but the sad fact is that even the biggest toughest of women would be crushed in a typical NFL or NHL game.... even the #1-ranked women's tennis player would be lucky to crack the top 100 in the men's side...... as far as I know there are no women in the top 10 world chess masters, dart players or pool/snooker players, and the fact that women can't pee on a campfire or write their names in the snow with their whiz is pretty much the final nail, no?
Aside from all the above "facts" I still gotta say it.... damn I love women. We may use em for our sites and such and make more than they do in most instances (not all), but god bless every one of them for being sexy enough in some way to entice 1 in every 2-300 horndogs to ching-ching the CC so's I get some bling-bling to my bank. God luv em. God luv em all.
