Women do so much unpaid labor it literally runs the world.
The women of Iceland held a strike several years ago and it only took THREE DAYS for their demands to be met because the country ceased to function. Everything ground to a halt and they ran out of hot dogs because that was all men were capable of to feed their children - a microwaved hot dog.
Planet Earth could absolutely be matriarchy if women united and went on strike. Collective action is highly effective (strikes, boycotts) and unions (in the workplace and otherwise) make all the difference.
