Gynandrarchic

/ˌɡɪnænˈdrærkɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by rule by both women and men, or a system where both genders share authority.

Etymology

From Greek gynē (woman) + andr- (man) + -arkhia (rule), describing a system that distributes power between genders.

Kelly Says

This word describes something almost utopian—a genuinely balanced government where gender doesn't determine access to power, which makes it historically quite rare and theoretically important.
