Society of Iboma: Difference between revisions

'''[[Iboma|Ibomian]] society''' is [[Wikipedia:Matriarchy|matriarchal]] i.e. dominated by women. This manifests in its political system where most political leaders are women and in economic life where women earn, on average, higher wages than men and occupy most senior corporate roles. Stemming in part from the physically larger character of women, Akronism built the idea of male impurity and aggression into the social fabric and femaleness as it’s counterbalance. Nevertheless, this society eschews many of the social values and norms displayed by other society.

 

People in Iboma do not have the same system of social relationships as people in other nations. This is most evident in intimate partnerships.

* '''Child-raising partnerships:''' These are relationships in which two individuals agree to raise a child together. They take joint responsibility for the financial, emotional and physical well-being of the child up to and sometimes during adulthood. They are the equivalent of parents, yet for a variety of relationships they may not necessarily have been romantically involved. In some cases, a birthing or living partner can occupy this role, although not always.
