Re: Controversial/Unpopular Opinions

Well, I recently read The Living Goddess by Marija Gimbutas, and it really blew out of the water the idea that a male dominated society has just always been the case.

Just wanted to point out that this aspect of Gimbutas' work is largely regarded as incorrect by mainstream archaeology and anthropology.

I agree that it does not seem to be the case that all human societies have been fundamentally patriarchal, but I'm a lot more skeptical of peoples' characterizations of matriarchal societies, especially ones that seem particularly utopian. It seems unrealistic and a product of wishful thinking.
