Reden wir übers Matriarchat ‒ taz Talk mit Maren Kroymann und Mithu Sanyal

In the organizer's words:

The next German chancellor will be a man in a world full of men, sandwiched between what they see as particularly masculine men, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg, head of the Meta Group, would like to see more "male energy" in the workplace. Female emancipation is suffering one setback after another worldwide. Has feminism failed? Was it too weak?

Feminists have been fighting for women's rights for centuries, emphasizing that it is not about female domination, but about equality. But true equality is not in sight. Shouldn't women - whether trans or cis - now slowly take over the helm completely? Make matriarchy at last? Then men would be oppressed. What would that actually look like? What would be the perfidious female way of ruling over men's lives?

taz deputy editor-in-chief Katrin Gottschalk discusses these and other interesting questions with cultural scientist and author Mithu Sanyal and actress, cabaret artist and singer Maren Kroymann. Are there any role models for real female domination? What mistakes should be avoided in the transition of power? And would we finally have to stop listening to jokes from Mario Barth?

Following this polarizing talk, the taz Kantine will remain open; the DJ duo Pinkies Up will provide the matriarchy soundtrack, among other things.
