A feminist utopia revealed

As a guy, am I weird for thinking that maybe this African tribe is on to something? Or am I just plain weird?

"In this archipelago of 50 islands of pale blue water off the western rim of
Africa, it's women, not men, who choose. They make their proposals public by
offering their grooms-to-be a dish of distinctively prepared fish, marinated in
red palm oil.

"It's the equivalent of a man bending on one knee and
offering a woman a diamond ring, except that in one of the world's matriarchal
cultures, it's women that do the asking, and once they have, men are powerless
to say no."

Of course, like all good things, this is being brought to an end by patriarchal missionaries. Of course.
