(RR) Matriarchies
Includes matriarchies with reversed gender roles & organizations/countries/etc where the highest position is held by a woman. By 'ruling queen/empress' I mean that they're the main ruler and not the spouse of the ruler/co-ruler.
Definition: a system of society or government ruled by a woman or women.
- a form of social organization in which descent and relationship are reckoned through the female line.
- the state of being an older, powerful woman in a family or group.

Matriarchy | A matriarchy due to a sudden decline in male population.
Pros:
- The dystopian vibe of such a decline in male population was quite interesting and how the remaining men were safeguarded.
Cons:
- Everything else, tbh. The world building is shallow to say the least. Despite it being a mostly women world, there's a lot of female rivalry, women are also still very stereotypical cliches and we see little to nothing of every-day life. The men are safeguarded, yes, but not nearly enough. For it being a dystopia, it still felt underwhelming. It also answered NONE of the questions such an absurd premise would arise... iykyk
