They say matriarchy wouldn’t survive to the modern age, but somehow… they did.
Let’s say in some alternate timeline, human society evolved with women being the leaders and men being warriors, workers, and supporting caretakers. It’s also initially part of human instinct for women to become leaders and men to be subservient. Even with the role as warriors and hunters, men would instinctively let the women take control of what they hunted or conquered.
Kind of like hyenas and meerkats but even that is a very shallow comparison.

- How would reproduction and child-rearing be handled in a society where women are the leaders and men are caretakers?
- How would the workplace and job roles differ in this society?
- How would the power dynamics differ in romantic relationships?
- How would art, literature, and media portrayals be different in this society?
- What impact would this society have on the depiction of gender in science fiction and fantasy media?
- Would you like to live in this alternate timeline where women are most likely to be dominant?
