He wasn't kidding about that women's suffrage thing - a big theme in the later books is the divine right of matriarchies and the rightness of intimate relationships between women. Here's an actual illustration from the fifth book depicting Dorothy and Ozma (formerly the boy Tip, now queen of Oz)

Hyenas are big cat-dogs who live in lesbian feminist matriarchies and the boys are kinda there to do as they're told and make babies.

Bassett won for narrating National Geographic’s Queens, which “tells the story of animal matriarchies across the globe and features an all-female production team, which Bassett told THR was ‘one of the big draws and highlights.’” “It feels good; really, really good,” she said ✨

I’d really like to introduce these deep thinkers to any of the Algonquin language family matriarchies, because I think the learning experience would be highly entertaining…

Yeah, I could see that. Will say some matriarchies are more peaceful, loving, and free than patriarchies. Bonobos come to mind. Need to look into it more but hyaenes seem to be a counter-example. Also yeah, that worries me. That's why I want direct and consensus democracy with informal leadership.
