Matriarchy vs. Gynarchy: Why Replacing Men Isn’t Liberation | Lovette Jallow
This is a video about Matriarchy vs. Gynarchy: Why Replacing Men Isn’t Liberation | Lovette Jallow
Are you replacing patriarchy—or simply replicating it?
In this video lecture, award-winning author and strategist Lovette Jallow unpacks the critical difference between matriarchy and gynarchy, exploring why ancestral, memory-based governance is not a reversal of patriarchy—but a refusal of dominance altogether.
Drawing from Fulani traditions, global humanitarian work, and lived neurodivergent experience, this video cuts through aesthetic feminism and offers clarity on true matriarchal leadership.
This lecture is essential for educators, DEI professionals, feminists, and cultural workers who are serious about unlearning systems of harm.
