Matriarchy, gynecocracy and superiority of Women in general are basic philosophical terms for any femdom thinking. Matriarchy as a society driven by Female authorities, gynecocracy as society led and ruled by Women and simple natural biological Female sex superiority.
We know about the gynecocracy from ancient Greek and Roman writers. Thanks to their fascination by Athenian myth of the Amazon society, we can today enjoy a huge number of art works displaying strong and powerful Women, from Aristophanes' play Ecclesiazusae to TV series Xena. Myth or reality - the paradigm is here and it is very real.
Matriarchy started to be discussed in the 18th century as the most probable model for prehistory societies and an early stage of human development. The concept has been generally accepted up to the 1970s when some researches denounced the hypothesis of matriarchy as false myth and today it is mostly discredited.
In 1952 Ashley Montagu, well respected anthropologist, published a book 'The Natural Superiority of Women'. The title sounds very promising for any femdom enthusiast, but the book itself insists on social equality of the sexes. Still, it is interesting enough for its evidences of biological superiority of Women. "Men are both numerically and biologically a minority group, while Women are numerically and biologically a majority". "From the standpoint of survival the Female is vastly more important than the male". "The natural superiority of women is a biological fact, and a socially acknowledged reality".
The book is discussed since its first publishing until today with no clear result. One of the most brilliant arguments for Women superiority I have read is "Female supermodels make tremendous amounts of cash just for walking up and down the ramp, playing dress-up, selling their products and providing tabloids and newspapers with quotes". I know it is not 'just', but the money part is true and value of beauty and attractiveness in this World is very high and all men are ready to pay everything to by just a small part of it.
