In bonobo societies, all bonobos frequently engage in sexual contact with other members of the community, regardless of sex. Female bonobos in particular are quite promiscuous with both fellow females and males; thus, bonobo society is matrilineal or matrifocal. Since the patriline of each member is unknown due to female bonobos having many sexual partners, the female bonobos take communal care of their collective young, and the male bonobos take on other community-care roles instead. It is theorized that this leads to lower levels of violent conflict, as opposed to chimpanzee, human, and other primate societies that are patriarchal, since male members of these societies must find ways to identify their offspring which inevitably leads to violent, controlling behavior toward female members as well as violence & competitive behavior toward other males who may pose a threat to their social statuses. Bonobo societies are extremely peaceful in comparison to other primate societies.

The feature musical film Mamma Mia! (2008), directed by Phyllida Lloyd, shows an example of what a matrifocal society, resembling the structure of bonobo society, could look like for humans; where several females care for a child whose exact paternity is unknown, and instead of violence resort to prosocial behavior (joyfully singing and dancing) in order to resolve conflict.

Women in Classic Doctor Who: Tegan Jovanka ↪ A lot of good people have died today. I think I’m sick of it.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

i love the tardis wiki. it literally never disappoints. i just typed "rose" into the search bar and hit enter and instead of taking me to "rose" the tv story or rose tyler the character or any other in-universe rose it took me to the page for the actual flower and the first line was "a rose was, according to rose tyler, 'a sort of plant.'" thank you tardis wiki i never would've known about roses being plants if rose tyler hadn't looked at a sapling in "the end of the world" and gone "wow maybe we're related"

martha jones would go on to create a rival ex-companion support group for people who got royally fucked over in their time with the doctor and want to bitch about it

tegan’s in that one too

I love Tegan’s lightning fast progression from confused, irate, & unwilling participant in cosmic events to stealing an ambulance with a giant grin to help three aliens escape the authorities. Absolute legend.
