But that's not really a viable option. Men still hold the vast majority of social, economic, and political power. As I noted, women are going to keep slogging away at their goals, sticking it out in industries that are openly hostile to them (at least some will stick it out, although many get discouraged and driven away), and demanding better accountability from men, even though it still too often costs them dearly to do it. We will continue to make progress, with or without men's help, but a matriarchy is just a different sort of dominance hierarchy system. It's not a solution, even if such a thing were remotely possible.

I do believe that there are good men out there who want an equitable world. Not all of them certainly; not even most perhaps, but enough of a plurality that if they worked together and really took themselves on - for their own benefit as well as that of the rest of us - we could really impact the culture. You can't force someone to "be good" - you have to get them to want to do the work because they believe in the outcome. Men everywhere have already been doing this kind of work for 50 years. We just need larger numbers of them to take it on.
