Meet the Women Living in What is Known As Europe's Last Matriarchy
In the Baltic sea, just off the western coast of Estonia lies Kihnu.
This small island of 700 people is often described as Europe’s last matriarchy where men are traditionally out fishing and the women are left in charge.
In 2008, UNESCO listed Kihnu culture as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”where Kinhu women were the…

So actually it's run by the men, cool.
I am palash in ( INDIA ) 🙏🙏🙏
Lazy guys doesn't make it a matriarchy 😄
I wonder why they only have 700 people…
Youtube jus ate my reply i cant speak too much here so u need to reseach and see how they are this few mins videos is not really accurate and are misleading
Did you not watch your own video? The Kihnu people is still very much rooted in patriarchy. I think matrilineal is the term you are looking for. 🙄
Don’t see what is matriarchal about it😊
I wish they went into more detail when they talk about men mattering more. It doesn't sound like a matriarchy from what is discussed
However, giving non-inclusive safe employment options and spaces for all genders does sound important.
So the men go off to work, the women are at home doing what they want while in control of the home, celebrating womanhood. Western world calls this patriarchy though. Seem to me though that it is a good example of egalitarianism.
So it's not actually a matriarchy. 😔🤷🏼♂️
Interesting. The united states, is so sheltered
If women depend on men financially, it's not matriarchy.
no difference to the Muslims anywhere in the world even the way they put on the hijab in the Caucasian mountain regions. So yes nothing special, maybe for the people in the West but in east its the same everywhere. women take care of families while the men are away, women are strong, they farm, take care of the elderly and hold the traditions together. From Africa to Siberia and Morocco to Philippines that is how it has always been.
All entire western countries are a matriarchy
Matriarchial societies: happy, peaceful, fun, warm, harmonious
Patriarchial societies: Cutthroat, unforgiving, competitive, money and power orientated
However, I think that's why the latter is richer and more expansive.
Very nice
I DEFINITELY need to visit this island when I visit Estonia <33
Seriously WHY is the man's opinion that matters in an all-women island?????
That should NOT be the case.
Feminists not gonna like it. Church and tradition is important. In fact it looks a lot like very traditional society.
Yay let’s go patriarchy
Matriarchy works well in a primitive society where ritual dancing is the only culture. Sclence and art can never exist where women have all political power. Unfortunately womens political power in Europe and USA have grown over the past 100 years to the degree of a matriarchate, more or less. The consequenses are stagnation of progress in relevant parts of human culture, such as art and science. The primitive dancing seen in the video is not to any benefit of any human society not living in the djungle.
Love to visit Kihnu , Estonia
Men making the income and women staying at home doing things that does not need brain power.. it just shows when they are given the power they want us to be the leader anyway
So the women are left to run things on the island while the men are off earning the bacon. And when the men do come back, the women yield the captain's chair to them. How is this a matriarchy? These are traditional gender roles.
Propaganda
I love strong powerful women
Lies lies yeah they gonna get you..
Why are all the women fat?
So who does the tough, dirty jobs like construction, plumbing, etc? Men?
i smell feminism with that ladies' logic. They carry other what every women did back in days, become man when their man fought outside threat or eat living smh. If she is not happy then leave them alone!
Sooo it's not a matriarchy, got it. Nice little misleading title there, turns out (what a shocker) that a man's opinion there is what's final as they otherwise wouldn't be able to survive (which also makes sense because last time I checked it took two to create a third)
I HATE MATIARCHY
MATIARCHY IS GENDER INEQUALITY
-WOMEN99%AND MEN 1%IN CEO AND MINISTER IS UNJUSTICE INEQUALITY
-WOMEN99%AND MEN1%IN BACHELOR DEGREE IN UNIVERSITY IS UNJUSTICE
-HOMELESS MEN WORKHARD HIGHER WOMEN
-IN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN GENDER EQUALITY DEVELOPMENT
HAVE WOMEN HIGHER MEN BECAUSE WOMEN MAY DISCRIMINATION MEN IN GENDER EQUALITY ASSESSMENT
MATRIARCHY NOT DIFFERENT FROM PATRIARCHY
DESTROY PATRIARCHY AND MATRIARCHY FOR GENDER EQUALITY FOR US
DON'T RADICAL EMPOWER WOMEN
DON'T RADICAL EMPOWER MEN
CAN YOU WILL GENDER EMPOWER FOR EQUALITY
Could transgendered women migrating to this land, reinvigorate the matriarchy?
Sounds like living in gynocentric America.
If women ruled the world we would still be in caves.
i'm disappointed it is a classical patriarchy 4:50
Sorry, but it's not Matriarchy.
I love stronger woman. Properties like tall, muscular, dominant, confidence really turns me on if a girl posses these🥰. I would really want to live in a pure matriarchal autonomous community where the traditional gender roles known from a typical patriarchy are reversed. I would do whatever such a girlfriend wants always pleasing her and make her as comfortable as I possibly can while sometimes playfully challange her to be defeated and put in my place again. That would be my personal utopia. And seeing the other guys as well being submissive partners of their girlfriends. But I think there are no true matriarchal communities like that in the world. Or am I wrong?
Althrough some of these woman shown in this video do look very strong it's still not true matriarchy.
I do see however girls in my own country getting increasingly taller and stronger looking however. I hope this trend will continue.
This video is patriarchal, not matriarchal at all. It should stop lying and misleading towards people. Matriarchal are women as head leader and have own property.
I like this. Matriarchy creates peace.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely amazing .
LOL STILL VERY MUCH THE SAME BUT ITS INTERESTING TO POINT OUT AFTER MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS JUST A POPULATION OF 700 PPPL. SOUNDS LIKE A CIVILIZATION THAT MATRIARCHY HAS KILLED.
To the people in the comments thinking matriarchy and patriarchy is all about being control fricks and controlling every SINGLE LITTLE expects of your SO lives it's not.
Men off fishing.
What an absolute joke!
Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous careers.
Put half the women in combat, coal mines, etc. Now that would not be funny
