Why Femdom Equals Freedom: Independence Leading To Matriarchy

Feminist movements have worked hard to bring about equality in every aspect of society. This has been a long, ongoing process, and is still a challenge in many areas of the world. While the term has had many nuances in its interpretations, it cannot be forgotten that Feminism is a noble and necessary foundation from which Sisterhood can bring about the best changes in the world. Feminism is a movement to love and be proud of.

Feminism relates to Freedom, as equality requires empowerment for Sisters everywhere, but what about Matriarchy?

For many, the concept of Matriarchy is simply a gender role-reversal of Patriarchy. While this interpretation may be upheld by a dictionary, the term has come to mean much more in popular usage. I think it is important to see definitions of Matriarchy (Femdom, to some) with new, enlightened vision.

At its simplest, Matriarchy can be seen as a reversal, where Sisters are 'in charge' rather than men. However, the nature of that leadership is what must be discussed, for it is the nature of the leadership that makes it far more than a reversal. Thinking of Matriarchal movements as simple gender role-reversals, does those movements a disservice.

Matriarchy may mean that Sisters are Doing It For Themselves, but the Way we do it can be completely unrelated to the old forms of patriarchal control. While men may have attempted to rule the world, rule nature, rule the family and community, through their often characteristic ways, the Way in which We 'rule' can be very different. So different, in fact, that it bears no resemblance to the old ways of men. No resemblance whatsoever. Far from 'copying' the antiquated ways of men, Matriarchy leads in new directions.

Rather than Sisters Doing It For Themselves, perhaps Sisters are Doing It For The World. Rather than competing to control and dominate through violence and intimidation, perhaps Sisters are collaborating on innovative ways to communicate and build bridges, to strengthen the global network for a better chance to grow and survive. Rather than using up resources and limiting opportunity, perhaps Sisters are finding new ways to inspire creativity and reward success in groups. Matriarchy can be (and is!) a New Way to approach the World.

If one assumes there have been biological and/or social differences in the many roles we as Women and Men fulfill in family or community life, for example, one can also see how the differences can extend to leadership styles. Following that, one can easily see how very different Matriarchal approaches are from patriarchal ones, from family leadership, to community leadership, from governments to education.

The management and leadership styles of Sisters takes Us to new levels of Freedom: Empowerment on a large social scale. As group models evolve in the workplace and community circles, as new communication standards are adopted, and new expectations about ethics and 'happiness' become part of the fabric, we see Sisterhood making the difference everywhere.

When we say Femdom = Freedom, we are saying: The Female-Led World is a liberating and innovative one that benefits humanity, nature and the blessings that exist between both. And yes, I propose we take the term 'Femdom' away from the pornographers who have kept the word hostage for years and lovingly embrace it as a fun, two-syllable variant for the Matriarchy.

Freedom is the fought-for right of the Empowered, and with Matriarchy's leadership, there is Empowerment and Enlightenment for all. For the men who worship us with love and passion, as We lead the World, there is beautiful freedom for all of them. For Sisters everywhere who yearn to be creative, free and happy, Femdom is your Freedom!
