Juchitán

There's a society in Oaxaca, Mexico called Juchitán. It's one of the few matriarchal societies in the current day and age. It's really just a super neat place that's "free" of competition, where women are the bread winners. But what's cool is that the women are respected and honored not generally envied and disliked for their success and position in the social structure. I guess you can wiki it, I first heard of Juchitán in one of my Spanish classes. Yeah, this is kind of random.
