Azureth 687 August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 Think about it, nearly everypony on higher level of governments/organizations are all female dominated. We have all these powerful female princess' yet no power male princes'. Does Equestria really operate under female supremacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,850 August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 Maybe the stallions like being dominated by a strong willed mare. There is a whole industry built around that mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoFoalix 24,941 August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 If you haven't noticed over the past I don't know... 10 years? Equestria is mainly a matriarchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's a matriarchy, doesn't mean men can't be as equal as women in this world. We still see stallions doing important jobs like doctors. So no, I don't see the female supremacy. I just see a gentle and fun world.

Jeric 46,850 August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 It was also one of the underlying intents of the show to create six female characters the world would center around. @Azureth I also updated the title to match the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CypherHoof 26,482 August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 I think Equestria is going though a period of matriarchy - Because the Royal Sisters are by definition mares. But historically, they trained under (and deferred to) Starswirl, Fancy Pants is clearly a respected patriarch, Filthy Rich clearly has more financial clout (if not political clout) in Ponyville than anyone else, and so forth. Another aspect of course is that there seems to be a significant disparity in numbers - there do seem to be many, many more mares than stallions in the Equestrian world, and as @Jeric points out, this is meant to be a female-enpowering show, so it makes sense that many of the protagonists (including of course all the Mane 6) would be female. ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a whole industry built around that mentality. Can someone pout me to Equestria? Maybe some hot mare could extend her affection to a human anyway, so far Equestria had only known female rulers, with exceptions being Pudding Head and Hurricane (Sombra is exempted due to being an usurper). Due to the show being mainly aimed towards girls is understandable, but no way it is an indication of being systematically sexist to stallions. A bit of trivia, I’ve stumbled upon the fact that most wild horses are led by a dominant mare, and the show isn’t new in showing a furry reminder or two. but I think that’s a coincidence Edited August 31, 2019 by Steve Piranha Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metemponychosis 1,258 August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 If people's interpretations give life to the fantasy, the answer lies in the fanfiction... Then again, the cartoon did fancy itself feminist. Refreshing, if the biggest leader hadn't been such a tool and the most powerful character male. In the end, it only made the males look like wimps instead of showing strong female leadership. But the idea was great, in my opinion, even if the cartoon never did really make an overt point about it. https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out. And I'm just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, he might have been the baddie, but he was pretty darned competent and powerful, all things considered. Of major protagonists, the Pillars have three males, and the Young six have two. And we know there are male leaders, such as Prince Blueblood, but they were simply never given focus. The Dragons had one before Ember took over. The mayor of Hope Hollow is a stallion. Thorax took the throne after overthrowing Chrysalis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Equine 50,890 August 31, 2019 Share August 31, 2019 Here's an equally valid question, I think... Can you even call it a "kingdom" if there's no king? I'd call it a "queendom", but we don't have those either. Just princesses... Princessdom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
