Would love to hear input on this from all angles. I posit that it is likely that we actually live in a matriarchy due to the set up of the legal system, the deference women get in in social settings and the extents that society goes to rid women of accountability for their choices and actions.
There are actual systemic biases and discriminations set up in our governance that disadvantage men.
Any social setting that men try and set apart as a place for men is eventually forced to include women (or at least highly pressured to do so)
Education is set up to favor feminine attributes over masculine attributes.
Abortion, no fault divorce and the heavy tendency to favor women in family court takes many consequences out of the picture for women. This has lead to (iirc) ~70% of all divorces being initiated by women.
Female domestic abusers are very rarely held to account for their actions. (see property destruction, physical abuse and mental abuse towards men that does not get prosecuted)
There are vast sums of money set aside by the government at all levels to help single moms and victims of domestic abuse. This does not exist the other way.
There are more facets to this, but this is probably a good starting place...
Could it be claimed rightfully that society has shifted to being matriarchical?
