A recent study proved what everyone argued... that of all Indo-Europeans, they were the least patriarchal.Those Roman accounts of women with exuberant influence and power were not wrong. This study showed that matrilinealism was widespread in Britain, and remember that the Hallstatt had a dynasty based on the female lineage, the celts were even matrifocal and matrilocal.other Roman accounts talk about Celtic women having social dominance and more freedom than Roman women.barbarism = matriarchal tendenciespatriarchal= civilization.>Roman writers found the relative empowerment of Celtic women remarkable1. In southern Britain, the Late Iron Age Durotriges tribe often buried women with substantial grave goods2. Here we analyze 57 ancient genomes from Durotrigian burial sites and find an extended kin group centered around a single maternal lineage, with unrelated (presumably inward migrating) burials being predominantly male. Such a matrilocal pattern is undescribed in European prehistory, but when we compare mitochondrial haplotype variation among European archaeological sites spanning six millennia, British Iron Age cemeteries stand out as having marked reductions in diversity driven by the presence of dominant matrilines.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08409-6#Sec22

>>17432576Are we sure this wasnt some one off because maybe a lesser noble cadet branch wanted to over emphasize their connection to the Royal house by associating with a former queen?
>>17432582The same thing happened in South Germany. Two richest Celtic graves ever found are connected through maternal line.
>>17432582we have several examples of this, including the Hallstatt (proto-Celts) so it is not just something unique in one place. and even considering Roman propaganda, everyone said the same thing. It's something to consider, at the very least. we have some bell beaker burials with women with bows, I believe their military society has some relationship
>>17432576ok, but why would they do that? how disgusting. Nobody was like that, what's the point of this mini_matriarchy??? I lost my respect for these retards, perhaps this explains their stagnation until they came into contact with the Mediterranean world. boudica was more common than we thought
>>17432614>nobodythe Germans were like that to a certain extent.
>>17432576It's a European thing, no surprise, women have never had so much influence in European lands since forever
>>17432576>that of all Indo-Europeans, they were the least patriarchal.the real "redpill" is that the ultra patriarchal Indo-European thing is false. they introduced, in effect, proto-gender equality, allowing women to exercise certain roles and influence absent in Neolithic Europe.related photo is in France. We do not have examples of matrilinealism or matrifocalism among EEFs on a large scale, unlike Indo-European peoples, where we have examples on a population scale. we have Celts, Scythians, Germanics, Dacians and so on.the Indo-Europeans were the original Wokes. research how many tombs of powerful women we have in Indo-European peoples vs. Neolithic peoples... you will be surprised. Since yamnaya we have examples of several women with richer kurgans than several men and even with some weapons.
>>17432647>>17432576Come to think of it, we have a tendency to treat women based on ancestry. while the less steppe the more "Muslim" (look at the fucking Greeks and their insignificant steppe) and the more steppe (Western Scythians and their almost 60% steppe).
>>17432576It's nothing new.mainly because the Celtic people didn't have much defined stratification beyond shit like tribal chief and that's it.
>>17432576gross, I'm glad tomboys are getting brainwashed into becoming pooners. total tomboy death
>>17432727No
>>17432576The feminist women of Celtic Britain kekMatrilocal marriage and tracing descent through the female line, with men marrying in from outside, very based isn't? Lmao>>17432581It needs a new version
>>17432576This is incredibly degenerate and "feminist" by the standards of a time when women were killed for a variety of reasons. Is anyone else holding back on this study? It doesn't seem logical to me that this would happen. it's incredibly fantasy and looks like a 16-year-old California feminist who learned how to use g25 would make fanfic out of. the other Celts were not like that. The Picts weren't like that, for example
>>17432750Yes
>>17432814Yes. Very strange
>>17432576Funny how the abstract looks like it was written by a university feminist. why?why use terms like empowerment?
>>17433413>>17432988>>17432814Stop seething, your precious Celts were proto-feminists.The patriarchy only entered these gray islands with the Roman and mainly Abrahamic presence. In fact, these various and powerful queens of Britain and the ridiculous number of duchesses and princesses have a biological explanation. wowMedieval England was the most matriarchal place in the entire world
>>17433445You sound like you're the one seething 2bh
>>17433445Why am I seething? Don't you think it's strange the way this study was written?
>>17432576jewish influence
>>17433451>>17433465Sameflag, The study is more complex, see the lineages on the tombs that were found. It's not a question of semantics of terms used
>>17433466No. Native europeanAs him said>>17433445The patriarchy arrived in Europe via abrahamic desert influence
>>17433472Fakemaybe for those nasty Bronze Age shepherds, but patriarchy had been in Europe since the Neolithic. and it wasn't a "polite" Christian patriarchy or an American "patriarchy" of the 1950s, it was a Taliban-level Sharia patriarchy. see here>>17432647 women barely even had tombs and in places like Mycenaean Greece colonies, women weren't even properly nourished.
>>17433482No, retarded Just among the Celts. The early medieval balts were patriarchal as fuck
>>17433533I don't see how this is widespread among the Celts.
This is all just cope from the Romonkeys after they discovered that Celtic females were stronger than male Romadalits. It's a bit like how Jeets post awful things about women of European descent today.
>>17433572LMAOgigacope
>>17432576Only among these British celts Not among the Gauls
>>17433594Since hallstatt actually
>>17433577Say what you want about the celts, it's not their fault a roman emperor invented stoicism because he couldn't stop his wife getting porked by gladiators kek
