Sex

A meme demonstrating the internal inconsistency evident in many common beliefs about men.

The role of Sex in human behavior, relationships, and societal structures has long been a subject of debate and research. One frequently cited claim is that "women are the gatekeepers of Sex" and that this is supported by research. However, this assertion primarily reflects a tendency for men to be more likely to agree to Sex when their partner initiates it. Research also indicates that women may be less inclined to initiate Sex even when they desire it, which suggests that differences in willingness to initiate do not necessarily correlate with differences in overall desire.

Greater bisexuality in women might be an indicator of women's greater sex drive.

Bisexual women are more likely to be in a relationship with men than women.

The intersection of Sex with broader social issues, such as reproductive rights, is also significant. For example, abortion rates are influenced by access to reproductive healthcare, which is often framed as a women's issue. However, this does not diminish the importance of Sex in shaping societal attitudes and policies. Similarly, the prevalence of Sex in media and its portrayal in women's pornography preferences reflect broader cultural dynamics and gender norms.

Studies and surveys have explored gender differences in sexual desire, frequency, and satisfaction. For instance, some research suggests that women may report wanting Sex as frequently as men, challenging stereotypes about male hypersexuality. Other studies highlight factors that may influence sexual desire, such as relationship dynamics, stress, and societal expectations.

Ancient Matriarchy

The ancient matriarchy is a discredited view that ancient human cultures were matriarchal. Some feminists claim that these ancient matriarchal cultures were taken over or defeated by aggressive patriarchal cultures and that evidence of the past matriarchy was systematically hidden by The Patriarchy.

Some proponents of ancient matriarchies have claimed that ancient human cultures did not understand the connection between sexual intercourse and pregnancy. Modern research has completely debunked this. There are no known human cultures, today or in the past, that did not know of the connection between sexual intercourse and pregnancy.

The notion of the ancient matriarchy was invented by Johann Jakob Bachofen and then further developed by other 19th-century European men. The ancient matriarchy is a variant of the now-discredited notion of the noble savage, which is widely considered to be racist.

The ancient matriarchy was popular among feminists from the 1970s to the 1990s. Most feminists today admit that it is a myth, although they are often unaware of its origins.

Any society claimed to be matriarchal is some combination of matrifocal, matrilineal and matrilocal.
