I think you are right and I think that was intentional. While WotC has been handing on some (deserved) criticism of Gygax' insensitive comments, I do think Gygax was influenced by 70s feminism and made the drow matriarchy into a mirror image / photo negative of a patriarchy.

I don't know if any of the Forgotten Realms authors have really exploited this potential in the lore but it wouldn't be difficult to write a feminist novel using the drow -- want to convince some dude who doesn't understand what all this fuss about patriarchy is about? Write a novel about what it's like to grow up as a a dude in drow society.


Maybe you should take the time to read the first book in R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt series. The first one "Homeland" does a great job of how women are superior to the males and males are used for nothing more than mating, and doing all the menial work and for warfare and such. The women are the rulers. Great book.

Bur now as for the Oriinal topic I couldn't agree more we need more masculine males
