They see matriarchy as the result, not the cause, of problems among African American families

matriarchy refers to a society in which female hold the leadership position or the primary power in the social groups

The critics of the report believes that matriarchy in African american family is the result of many men chose to leave and not held accountable for the children that they produce, leaving the women with no choice but to stand up on their own.
