VIDEO: China's "Kingdom of Women"
A cool video from National Geographic on the matriarchal Mosuo culture of southwestern China, where women own property and determine family relationships. But this "so-called free-love society" is under threat from modernization.
To me, this is proof that not all modernization is good -- there are exceptions. These people have worked out an equitable and egalitarian culture that is much more progressive than the rest of China, or the United States for that matter.
That was very interesting! Thanks for sharing
