Separatist societies
Genders (or sexualities) live apart, with little intermingling or only at fixed times.
Maybe one of them doesn't exist, for whatever reasons.)
Matriarchies have women on top, but not necessarily planned that way; maybe the men just died out; maybe it's a bad thing; whatever. Separatism always has the sexes living apart - often, this is in conjunction with a matriarchy, or is a lesbian separatist utopia, but not always.
