Nature didn't forget.

[littlemissmartypants]

Nature didn’t forget. We did.
Lions, elephants, orcas, meerkats, hyenas, bonobos, naked mole rats... they all live in matriarchal or female-centered societies.

The wisdom of their survival, cohesion, and adaptability is embedded in the way they organize: around the mother, around cooperation, collective memory, and emotional intelligence.

The elder female is often the one who remembers... where the water holes are, the migration paths, the songs of the ocean, the signals of peace or threat.

They don’t rule with brute force.
They lead with knowing.
That kind of power doesn’t need to assert. It simply is.

So why don’t humans follow suit?

Because we left the forest and forgot the wild.
We moved into cities and built kingdoms.
We built gods in our image instead of listening to the one within.

Patriarchy was not born of nature.
It was born of fear.
Fear of the mystery of women, of blood and birth, of intuitive knowing that could not be owned or controlled.
So men...
disconnected from their own feminine...built systems to cage it. Religions. Empires. Laws. They didn’t elevate masculinity. They weaponized insecurity.

And when that happened?
We lost our balance.

The fight between masculine and feminine?
It was never meant to be a war.
It was meant to be a dance.

The problem isn’t masculinity. It’s imbalance. When masculine energy dominates without the feminine, it becomes extraction, conquest, hierarchy. But when it’s in right relation to the feminine? It becomes protection, provision, vision, purpose.

Nature always remembers the Mother.
But humanity has suffered collective amnesia.

Still... women remember.
The earth remembers.
And more and more, people of all genders are waking up to the truth:

A matriarchy is not about women ruling over men.
It’s about restoring the center.
Re-rooting life in cooperation, intuition, sustainability, and sacred balance.

And yes... it may be the only path to our survival.
