[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8026604, member: 6801228"] More sexist. But Sexist against men isn't the point of a Matriarchy. Cartoonish in that it ends up being so extreme as to almost be a parody. Nothing really "cartoony" about Drow either, except that they are so evil it is hard to take seriously. To the second point, Drow society should not be representative of all matriarchal societies, but it is de facto representing them by being the only one. To the third point, you are right, this isn't about positive representation of women, it is about positive representation of a form of society that is different from the norm. Egalitarian societies where both genders are equally in charge are of course better, but since we have so many patriarchies (quite possibly everything except Drow) but historically we have seen Matriarchal societies, I don't see any reason why not to have a positive representation of them. I mean, we have positive and negative monarchies, positive and negative republics, positive and negative theocracies, positive and negative patriarchies... And only negative matriarchies.
