Goddess Worship
Goddess Worship: in this context the belief that a female focused religion in prehistoric times that was somehow swept away by men.
This is popular among neo-pagans who may or may not believe in matriarchal politics. Neo-pagan female supremacists naturally believe and cite it. They believe that the universe’s guiding force is feminine; that women are priestesses uniquely able to mediate between this cosmic divinity and mankind. An argument that never impresses atheists and agnostics.
Speculative theology aside very, very few anthropologists or archaeologists agree that a matriarchal religion or society was common in ancient times. Books that retail this information are often using long since discredited ethnological writings and historical wishful thinking.
Besides ancient people did many things that we would regard as nasty and brutal. No reason to adapt our behavior to the practices of 100,000 BC.

That’s ‘cos the Patriarchy has wiped out all the records. They don’t want you to know the truth…

I thought that women already were superior in this day and age given that they are in charge of nearly everything.What society seems to lack
is a prison or confinement centre for men but run by women which would train the male to obey women .I’m sure a lot of wives would send their husbands for training,even if it were short term.It would save the government time and money.
