Could Africa be headed towards a matriarchal society?
Women all across the continent are holding more parliament positions, getting more secondary school education and being entrepreneurs. The countries with the most educated women are South Africa, Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea and Mauritius. With Traore’s recent statement that democracy is not for us, though he was mainly referring to Burkina Faso, it got me thinking about how women really all across the globe are more educated than men. Black women are the most educated in America. However, it’s still a patriarchal system and in South Africa for example, we see high SA rates and violence. So this has me wondering, if more countries had more educated women in most if not all fields not just political, would we be closer to a matriarchal society, or would dismantling patriarchy 1. Take way longer than most of us would be alive to see, 2. Bring in more chaos and violence before stability and 3. Take way longer because of dismantling colonial ideologies and traditions? What would a matriarchal society even look like in Africa?
Just my thoughts but I’d love to hear more about what others think.
