How about, instead of trying to invert existing injustices by replacing patriarchy with matriarchy, we instead tried to move past them entirely, striving for a post-gender society where gender identity has no influence whatsoever on rights, respect and opportunities?
I have seen evidence of a hierarchy in most communities regardless of what gender is in power...
Eh, I have known some women who are pretty obsessed with being queen bees. Hierarchy isn't just a male thing.
Pink Patriarchy isn't a valid response to the Patriarchy.
Modern radical feminism has some serious misandry issues that need to be worked out on a personal level.
Bigotry and hierarchy will never help women or men, and only helps the Patriarchy.
I can say, having been a part of "non hierarchical" communities where women and afabs and have been like 90% of the members, that really isn't always the case

On the whole, women are just sneaky how they go about being shitty to one another. Men are just louder about it.
Oh good I’m not the only one who notices this about Butterfly?
They pretend like they’re wholesome and use that position to push some hate.
What's the deal with this sub? I'm an idiot who uses Sync so I can't see the sidebar, but I get the impression from the posts I come across that sexism is explicitly allowed here.
There is very little content on Lemmy. Butterfly has scheduled posts (I'm making an assumption but she posts pretty much daily to many subs) every day on this sub and it's 75% of the content.
Much of what you see is a function of low volume more so than the community.
Hurt people hurt people.
Not always true. Some people just enjoy hurting others.
And some hurt people don't want others to have to experience the hurt.
First let’s just look at the implied statement
maternal hierarchy isn’t a hierarchy
X to doubt.
Secondly, a not-hierarchy (anarchy) is not optimally a circle but a preferably dense web of connections
