So, is the entire premise of this topic based solely on the title of the roundtable discussion mentioned in the OP?

About the OP:
I don't understand how a speaking event whose participants are important women involved in the show both in front of and behind the camera and the event's playful name have any bearing on whether on the real-world future of civilization will be a matriarchy, nor did I realize that it once was one, overall. Could the OP elaborate?
Not everyone has had a queen or female head of state already. (Tongue in cheek.)
There are historical and even current Matriarchies, allowing for a certain literal meaning of the word. I think Michael Palin visits a current one in Himalaya. There’s hand tickling.
But atm we seem to be going through a la li lu li le phase with The Patriarchy thing. But that’s a percolator of fish it’s wiser not to prod I guess.
I can’t take you seriously anymore.
Admiral Gender Studies?

Pop the corn and grab a cold one. The targ dung is a-pilin' up.

Best to run away quickly, in my view.
Gone are the days when no one gave a shit about what genders characters were, and just cared about the story itself.
I miss those days.

I disagree. I've noticed a huge spike since the turn of the decade beyond any other.
Wow, who would imagine that the stereotypical sci-fi enthusiast would enjoy seeing beautiful women.
... that was sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell. My question is, why did it take so long? With all the amazing predictions sci-fi has given about technology and society, shouldn't true equality between men and women be a good one to predict? It will happen someday.

You mean around the time some sort of global communication infrastructure was created giving voice to millions of people who previously couldn't be heard?
The internet has its share of faults.
Giving the voiceless and marginalized an avenue to be heard is a 'fault'? FFS.
People who piss and moan about the gender of fictional characters were marginalized before the advent of the Internet?
Color me educated.
Yeah. And we're seeing it with this thread.
Well, time to pop some popcorn.
I think when they say 'the future' they're being cute and talking specifically about Discovery and the majority representation they have in it.. I don't think they mean the actual future.
