Women ran things in ancient Peru, a new study argues;
Women in ancient Peru, far from being marginalized and invisible, were political and economic decision-makers, according to a new study that challenges many traditional takes on the country’s history.
Historian Maritza Villavicencio sets out the findings that run counter to previous hypotheses that high-ranking pre-Columbian women in Peru were mere “priestesses” in “Mujer, poder y alimentacion en el antiguo Peru” (“Woman, power and food in ancient Peru”).
Instead, she asserts, they were monarchs.
Before going extinct.
Some liberals are bound and determined to rewrite human nature into their fantasy. As has been noted too many times before – Liberalism is a mental disorder.
There is a hierarchy in women worse than men sorry to say! And as below the article states BEFORE GOING EXTINCT.
Funny, Kate.
Feminists won’t hesitate to portray men as belligerent, aggressive, and scheming, doing anything to advance themselves while claiming that women are kind, gentle, and co-operative.
For many years, I went to a dentist who had a background in nursing. One day, she told me one reason she left that profession and decided to fix people’s teeth instead. She said that nurses could be a nasty, backstabbing lot and, as I recall, she extended that description to women in general.
That was an eye-opener for me.
I’m a 58 year old man, if I had a dollar for each woman who told me that women are meaner than men, I’d be rich.
I have never met a woman who told me she would rather work with women than men or have a female boss rather than a male boss.
Having said that, I have to say this ; ahhhh women… can t live with them, can t live without them!
And as Nietzsche said in one of his rare romantic moments, “Ah, women….they make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.”
I don’t think we have a choice here, CDN Friend. Women are shunning us and males are giving up trying. Do tell how to combat this. And don’t point to our feminized trust fund baby PM as a poster child to be emulated.
I dated a woman who was in HR. Women comprised almost all of her headaches even though they were only about 25% of the employees.
“Women, can’t live with them…pass the beer nuts.” NORM!
But yes…still love them. Not all of them are the new feminists. Many great women out there that are true feminists.
YEOW! OW! OUCH!
I am still waiting for the first female premier of Ontario.
I’m still waiting for a human to be first premier of Ontario
“First female” good one Buddy
Our Incitatus .
Not as much, I’ll bet, as I am waiting to get a male back in the PM’s office.
*Buddy*: that is a most excellent one..:}}
That ‘splains all the ritual killings and such.
Yep. Women have always been extremely jealous of younger, cuter, versions of their sex.
What with the Virgin sacrifices and whatnot
I am always suspicious of those who attempt to “renovate” history to meet the requirements of their ideology.
And there’s an aspect of “old news” here: no one seriously would doubt that, at various periods in human history, female rulers and matriarchies have existed (it seems increasingly clear to me that women more and more have the upper hand today in Western society).
But the historical evidence suggests a rather tepid conclusion for virulent feminists: on balance, female rulers don’t seem to fare any better (or worse) than male ones.
Maybe that’s the only useful extrapolation that should be drawn out of this.
…..We need FEMINISM like we need “holes” in our skulls!

Let me fix that headline for you- ‘If women ran the world… into the ground, we’d go back to living in caves.’
Since 2000, most of the managers of the apartment complex I live in have been women and, sadly, the majority were incompetent.
The first one was bad-tempered and made a lot of enemies among the tenants. We suffered under her mismanagement for nearly 3 years.
The next female manager was even worse. She wasn’t just bad-tempered or incompetent, she was negligent. A lot of preventive maintenance wasn’t done while she was in charge. For example, one night a few years ago, we had freezing rain and the moisture set off the fire alarm, not once, but twice. The fire department responded and found nothing both times.
A few weeks later, we were informed that she was no longer with the company. Reading between the lines, one could surmise that she had been sacked, and good riddance as we put up with her antics for about 6 years. Under her mismanagement, rent increases skyrocketed, resulting in many older tenants moving out because they couldn’t afford to live there.
Nobody was sad to see her go. Apparently, though, she got herself another job soon after that, running a set of apartments closer to downtown. I pity those tenants.
Her replacement didn’t last long and we never found out why. I did some snooping on the Internet and I figured out that she never made probation as she, apparently, crossed someone in the head office.
Her successor ran the place for a few months but she was on her way out anyway and went on to manage a different place.
The current manager is no winner, either, being painfully correct. We have a lot of foreign tenants living in our complex now and she lets them run roughshod. (Can’t be suspected of being a racist, you know.) I’ve yet to hear of her evicting any of them, even though one dolt was responsible for yet another false fire alarm by forgetting to switch off one of his kitchen appliances. (The machine started smoking and triggered the system.)
Once I finish settling my father’s estate, I’m moving.
The problem is, when women are in charge, men become responsible for getting things done. Thus extinction is inevitable and for this very reason men are in charge, leaving women responsible for getting things done. My wife has requested that I write this, and as the leader of our household, I have complied.
At one time in the distant past, the RC Church in Rome had a female Pope….The male pope died and left a young son, his mother claimed that she would rule the church in her son’s name… Didn’t last very long
Had no idea that y’all are such comedians.
“Had no idea that y’all are such comedians.”
I really enjoyed that too.
They should rule the world. They sit on the gold mine that occupies 90% of male thought….. just sayin’
jeez louise. haven’t you peeple bin paying attention?
gender is now OBSOLETE.
we are in for a real treat when a multi-genderless (NOT an oxymoron in ‘newspeak’) ummm . . . .(insert werd meaning bipedal mammal once known as HOMO sapiens) is ‘running things’.
it aughta be fun fun fun !!!!
my former (why dat?) missus had a knack for criticism. apparently gulping a can of apple juice a day (back when it was actually a FULL can costing some 25 cents) constituted a ‘drinking problem’. leasways THAT’s how I portrayed it to my colleagues that day. a ‘drinking problem’. “yer drinkin’ too much (drum roll) APPLE juice!!!”
then there was the time I mishtakendly showed up with a bunch of cut flowers, following the lead of the advertisers, common knowledge, valentine day pundits, etc and got told to “get a refund”. never did THAT again.
ouch.
ouch ouch ouch. did I mention FORMER missus?
ya, let the wimmin run things. catherine the great, indira gandhi, chian ching (aka mrs mao), and the now nobel-peace-prize-lacking
ang sung kyi kill yu tuu.
yupper. make sure its one with a dozen or so abortions under the belt, you know, reinforce the notion that life is a necessary evil.
Listen to yourselves – MEE-OOWW!!
