Oh, please.  Its really just a matter of taking others at face
value.  You don't seriously expect throwing quotes at these
people to suddenly inculcate them with rational thought, do
you?  It is just as easy to say, "So what if its a matriarchal
society.  Get used to it."... which I thoroughly enjoy, as a
submissive.   :-)  =R=
