One of the consistent themes in Graeber's "Dawn of Everything" is his cogitations on Matriarchal/Patriarchal but with the acknowledgement of a higher dimension that removes/ignores/displaces the "arch" part. For example, there are many Matrilineal cultures where there is still a Patriarch (king) running the show, treating his subjects as "children" like a stern (and/or loving) father would but whose heir to power would be his eldest nephew on a sister's side (his mother's filial grandson). Another example was a culture where all figuration/art depicted women larger than men and going about more leaderly/administrative tasks but the men still being hunters and warriors.
Thanks for the offering of your blog-entry. I commented on that-there in the spirit of Glen's admonition of our conflating different mediums, using a mail-list for the "wrong" purpose. While I am used to, in my life, recognizing that I am "doing it wrong!" (again), I accept that there are accepted standards and seek to follow/align with them when I can. Over-subscription to norms can lead to canalization, but then some canalization is good. Where would the grandeur of the Grand Canyon be if everything were a floodplain? I offer you the Great Basin and Salt Lake/Flats that go with it, fascinating in their own right!
