No kidding. Read some of the Celtic legends, for example the various versions of Tristan and Yseut. And: ever wondered why the Arthurian legend is obsessed with uncles and nephews? And why said nephews are always the son of the King’s sister?

Womens history just got richer.

When the deeply patriarchal Romans first encountered Celtic tribes living in modern-day France and Great Britain in the first century B.C.E., their reaction to the roles of the sexes was one of surprise and dismay. The tasks of men and women “have been exchanged, in a manner opposite to what obtains among us,” wrote one Roman historian.

New evidence from Celtic graves now confirms that at least one part of Britain was a woman’s world long before the Romans arrived—and for centuries afterward. One ancient British tribe known as the Durotriges based its family structure—and perhaps property inheritance—on kinship between mothers and daughters. Men, meanwhile, left home to live with their wives’ families, a practice known as matrilocality that has never been seen before in European prehistory.

The work, published today in Nature, helps explain why women in Iron Age Britain are often buried with high-status grave goods such as mirrors and even chariots, says Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich archaeologist Carola Metzner-Nebelsick, who was not involved with the research. “It’s a fantastic result,” she says. “It really helps explain the archaeological record.”

Ancient histories—not least Julius Caesar’s 50 B.C.E. account of invading Gaul—hinted at female empowerment among the Celts. “They wrote about it because they found it so weird,” says Trinity College Dublin geneticist Lara Cassidy.

Many modern historians assumed the accounts were exaggerated; they dismissed rich female graves from the time as outliers. But over the past few decades, archaeologists comparing burial practices at hundreds of Iron Age sites from Britain to Germany began to think there was a kernel of truth to the Roman reports.

The Durotriges cemeteries, located in the far south of England near the city of Bournemouth, offered a way for Cassidy and her team to investigate. Burials there began around 100 B.C.E., roughly 150 years before Roman forces invaded the island. Unusually for Iron Age Britain, the tribe didn’t cremate their dead. Instead they buried them close to home, in the hills surrounding their farmsteads.

Whereas men were laid to rest with a joint of meat and perhaps a pot containing a beverage to sustain them on their journey into the afterlife, Durotriges women are often found with elaborate offerings including mirrors, combs, jewelry, and even swords. “If you judge social status by burial goods, then female burials have vastly more than male,” says Bournemouth University archaeologist Miles Russell, a co-author of the new paper.

Over the past 4 years, researchers sequenced DNA from dozens of Durotriges skeletons in a set of cemeteries in Dorset, England. By matching identical fragments of genetic material from different individuals, they reconstructed a family tree that spanned six generations—many of whom were female descendants of a single female founder. Two-thirds of the people in the kin group buried in the cemetery shared a rare type of mitochondrial gene, a form of DNA inherited only from the mother, including some of the men who shared the same female ancestor.

Other genetic evidence from the Durotriges cemeteries pointed to matrilocality, showing that men joined the clan from other families. “Women are staying close to family and are embedded in the support network they’ve known since childhood,” Cassidy notes. “It’s the husband who’s coming in as a stranger and is dependent on the wife’s family.” Women were evidently a force to be reckoned with in this part of Iron Age Britain.

Such patterns could help explain finds elsewhere in the Celtic world, where women were sometimes buried with rich grave goods or even chariots. “We’re thinking this could have been quite widespread,” Cassidy says.

To gather further evidence, she and her colleagues re-examined previously published genomes from more than 150 sites in Britain and Europe stretching back to the Stone Age. Starting around 500 B.C.E., the diversity in people’s mitochondrial DNA declined, the team found, suggesting more of them shared the same female ancestors. There was no matching decline in the diversity of Y chromosomes, which are passed from fathers to sons.

That suggests communities across Britain were anchored by specific female lines, with men marrying in from outside. “The signal they see in [the Durotriges] case study can be reproduced in other British sites,” says Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology archaeogeneticist Joscha Gretzinger, who was not involved with the work. “That’s quite a smoking gun.”

The study is part of a growing use of DNA to reconstruct genetic kinship in the deep past—and use it to shed light on the structure of past societies. University of Liverpool archaeologist Rachel Pope says the research is starting to highlight the wide variety of social organization people practiced in the past, something archaeology has hinted at over the past 2 decades.

Some of the earliest kinship studies using ancient DNA, for example, showed that Stone Age farmers in Britain and France living in the fifth millennium B.C.E. were organized patrilocally, with women leaving their homes to marry while men stayed put. The new data from Durotriges suggest that by the Iron Age, 4000 years later, something had shifted. “This is quite exciting,” Pope says. “There are moments in time in which societies seem to have a lot of high female status.”

I really, really wish that anthropology was a part of general education - and be it just because I wanna bang my head against the wall given the big lacks in anthropological knowledge people show when talking about all sorts of issues. Both in terms of cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology.

No, a matriarchy is not "like a patriarchy, but the other way around". Because the patriarchy has developed the way it did with the goal to ensure the patrilinear inheritance - which only works when women only sleep with one men. As matriarchies usually are concerned with matrilinear inheritence, they tend to not control men anywhere near as much as patriarchy controls women, because a mother generally will know which children were born by her. So what if her husband fools around with other women? It does not matter in a matriarchy.

Yes, matriarchies existed all around the world. Yes, they even did so fairly recently. Main reason for them not existing in any notable degree today is colonialism. While, yes, there were way more patriarchies than matriarchies that we are aware of, the usual thought is that this goes back to the first point. Due to matriarchies being low control, and patriarchies being high control, matriarchies can divert into patriarchies more easily than the other way around.

Yes, queer people - including trans people and third (as well as forth and fifth and sixth and so on) genders - were around for as long as we are aware off. So at least for 5000 years. But it stands to reason longer, especially as we absolutely did uncover older graves that implied some form of trans person there. Because other than what transphobes claim, archeologists generally will first judge a grave and the gender of the inhabitant by the grave goods included - and often then will later go surprised Pikachu, when they further look into the skeleton and find it not lining up with the presumed sex.

And also, yes, pretty much all homo sapiens have mammory glands and technically are capable of feeding infants. No matter the sex. Yes, it happens that afab people in general will a) produce milk after giving birth due to natural processes, and b) have more developed mammory glands than amab people, meaning they can more efficiently nurse a child. Doesn't mean amab people cannot do it at all. And of course, in general: trans men giving birth can, if they did not have the glands removed during top surgery. Also: always remember that more then enough cis women struggle to nurse their child and always have. There is a reason wetnurses existed.

And yes, this is very much about some hot "feminist" takes I have read. Like, girls, the least you could do for your feminism is read some actual books on history, before you loudly proclaim wrong information.

New level unlocked.

After my wife let me cum for my birthday end of March, I didn’t give her as much attention as when I was locked and denied. She just confessed she liked me a lot more when I was locked. She misses the constant attention and my more romantic behaviour, not to mention the oral duties.

She now agreed to be my keyholder and to tease and deny me without letting me cum.

Next challenge will be to start using the strap on more often until I eventually become pussy free for good.

And once that has happened I’m sure we’ll find a new challenge

Canon has been all over the place but I still think the yautja society is a matriarchal one. The women lounge about having lesbian trysts and keeping things running while the the men scurry about obsessed with their status and trophy count.

“Yes dear, enjoy your ‘hunting trip’ with the boys. Some of us have important things to do around here.”

This post was brought to you by lesbians who like giant buff alien ladies and wish there was some female yautja representation, hopefully, they would be happy to keep some of us as pets.
