This is a primitive tribe in the Amazon, the only place where there are no men and males are not valued.
This is a pure indigenous tribe born and developed in the Amazon rainforest. The women here are very strong; they can hunt, gather, and become self-sufficient from a young age.

When the girls in the tribe reach adulthood, they will go to other tribes in search of strong men to bring back to their tribe.
The only “mission” of these men is to help women give birth. Until this “obligation” is fulfilled, no one can leave that land. Once a child is born, if it is a girl, she will stay with her mother to be raised.
Conversely, if they happen to give birth to a boy, the child will be abandoned in a remote wilderness, left to fend for itself. Faced with hundreds of dangerous animals in the Amazon rainforest, the chances of the poor child surviving are almost nonexistent.
This way of living is indeed inhumane, but no one can judge or prohibit them. We live in a completely different environment, and thus our way of life must also differ.
Similarly, in a place in China known as the “Kingdom of Women.” In a valley on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, about 40,000 Mosuo people live in lakeside villages.
Here, women are the ones who “hold power,” making the most important decisions. They control family finances, have ownership rights over land and houses, and have full authority over childbirth and child-rearing.
They are free to choose several lovers—men—at their discretion. The result of these one-night stands are children, who are raised by the woman’s family. The fathers of the grown men are referred to as “uncles,” and there is no stigma about not knowing who the child’s father is.
