::No one is claiming that Vanatinai is a matriarchy.  According to Lepowsky, it is egalitarian.  How can you possibly claim that her work reports male dominance when the phrase "egalitarian society" is in the title of her book?  The problem here is that you are attempting to do original research.  My opinion is that you and other contributors to this and its sister articles are also sexist, but there is no need to go there.
