The Rise and Fall of Female Leadership
Description
There was once a time where there were many tribes scattered around the world. Humanity was slowly evolving into a new species. Getting more advanced skills and developing different languages.
In this time, women were always the leaders of the tribe. The reason is that their minds and wisdom were more powerful than the men who were physically strong. The role of the men was to hunt and protect the tribe.
The women, or at least one women in particular was to lead. To make decisions as to where they would go next, where and when they would camp.
Women could also be manipulative because generally men were not as advanced as them as they had very few needs. Mostly sex, food and sleep.
Women were evolving more quickly than their male counterparts. They had to use their knowledge and brains to survive in a harsh, dangerous world. They needed wit and charm above physical strength and skill.
They could not match men in a physical fight and so they had to find ways to defend themselves and survive and even thrive. They did this through their leadership.
They understood the power they possessed over the men. They understood their skills at negotiating and getting what they wanted. They did not immediately resort to violence as their men did.
They also tried to find a better solution. A solution in which all parties got what they wanted, within reason. When the women ruled the world in these times, there was more kindness and compassion.
There were deeper connections amongst their communities and with nature itself. There was more gratitude for what they had. There was more love and understanding.
Meeting another tribe would be a great thing. They could interreact and tell each other stories around the camp fire. They could learn from each other. Teach new skills.
Tell stories from faraway lands. In these times where the women where leading, evolution was more rapid. There was more harmony with everything around them.
They would watch the animals, like hyenas and wild dogs. These animals were also lead by a female. She would be the one having the pups, making decisions and often leading the hunting parties.
They didn't lead by physical strength but they lead by respect and wisdom. They proved their knowledge time and again. The males in these packs understood that they could not live by themselves without any females.
They understood they needed the females and their knowledge and most importantly, the gift of new life to continue their species. And so it was with humanity.
There was respect for the same things as with the hyenas and wild dogs and elephants. Men would lead with brute force. Who was the fastest and strongest. Whereas women would lead with who was the wisest and cleverest.
Who had the most knowledge and proved their decisions helped the whole tribe thrive. The males understood this and recognised their place in the packs and tribes.
They got to do the things they loved. Hunting, exploring and being useful. It is only as they evolved more that they realised they could indeed lead by brute strength.
They could lead by force and so a new era of humanity emerged. One led by the violence and brutality of men. No longer in harmony with the tribe or with nature. But only survival of the strongest and fastest.
While women remained cleverer and wiser, they would still be overpowered physically. They were forced to submit. But this new era was no longer a high vibrational one as it was when the women led.
It was now low vibrational. There was more fighting and struggle and suffering. There was more hardship. But the men would not relent.
Even though they knew deep down they were happier and more content under the leadership of women. Their ego would not allow them to relinquish control.
But now, I wonder in these modern times, as men grow weaker and women stronger. Is there another reversal looming in the future of humanity. Will we all go back to our ancient ways where women made better leaders.
Or has too much damage been done. It is too late for this change. Perhaps there is far too much low vibrational energy ruling the world and the egos remain too strong to try a different way.
To find a different way to rule and live and thrive. Perhaps, it is too late. Or perhaps, in the immortal timelessness of the earth, this time will indeed come around again when the time is right.
For even in the current time, the women leaders are only leading because they embrace their masculinity rather then the feminine. They lead as a man would.
If we are to evolve to the next stage of humanity, we need to be led by the feminine, just as with hyenas and wild dogs and elephants and many other successful species of animals.
After all, we are all connected, we all are one. Perhaps this is the strongest hope for humanity. Perhaps our women need to level up and begin to take charge. Show us all a better way of being. A better way to thrive together.
Examples of Female-Led Animal Species
* Elephants – Led by the oldest female (matriarch), who guides the herd using decades of knowledge about migration routes and water sources
* Spotted Hyenas – Females are larger, more dominant, and lead clans with strict matriarchal hierarchies
* Orcas (Killer Whales) – Pods are led by post-menopausal females who pass down survival knowledge across generations
* Bonobos – Female alliances maintain social order and resolve conflicts through cooperation rather than aggression
* Lionesses – While males defend territory, females lead hunts and manage pride dynamics
* Honeybees – The queen bee governs the hive’s reproduction and structure, supported by female worker bees
* Ants – Colonies are led by a queen who is responsible for reproduction, while female workers manage all other tasks
* Meerkats – Dominant females lead mobs, make decisions about territory, and manage group conflicts
* Lemurs – Troops are led by matriarchs who decide when to eat, sleep, and travel
* Mole Rats – Colonies are ruled by a queen who controls reproduction and social structure
I had to look up the Bonobo as I hadn’t heard of it before. They’re truly fascinating.
