All the societies which existed long enough to leave remains were patriachial. Now, feminists like talking about some mythical indian society, but that was pretty debunked as the result of a feminist researcher fitting the data to the ideas.
If all these societies-monotheistic and polytheistic, omnivorous, vegetarian and cannibalistic, sedentary and nomadic-are patriachial, (yet they disagree on other basic ideas), is it a conspiracy?
Besides, if gender is socially constructed, why this particular construct? If there is a strong patriachial trend, perhaps it's not so arbitrary.
