Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought I remembered that it was more like men and women had authority over distinct parts of society, not that women ruled over men in a general sense.
The Iroquois have historically followed a matriarchal system…Traditionally, the Clan Mothers appoint leaders, as they have raised children and are therefore held to a higher regard. By the same token, if a leader does not prove sound, becomes corrupt or does not listen to the people, the Clan Mothers have the power to strip him of his leadership…The Iroquois have traditionally followed a matrilineal system, and hereditary leadership passes through the female line of descent, that is, from a mother to her children

Nursing for one, teaching for another. I’ve known people in both fields, they’re extremely female-dominated and extremely hierarchical, just in the social politics.
I have seen evidence of a hierarchy in most communities regardless of what gender is in power…
Which communities have you seen where women dominate? I can’t really think of any.

So a man is the leader then.
I like how you deliberately cut out the part that said basically what I wrote lol
