Matriarchies aren't even rare in human society, there have been many;
tho the most successful seem to have been matriarchial
succession/source_of_power and paternal ruling.

I'm not overly keen on that view, at least certainly not to the extent
to which it is commonly taken where Thrud the barbarian warrior can
bench press 4,000lbs _and_ walk 600 miles a day, _and_ master six lore
books before dinner, _and_ ... I'm much keener on the
everybody-is-more-or-less-the-same and then make specific fairly minor
exceptions for the skills and abilities they have gained thru play
(also ignoring species/race/sex/etc distinctions).
