Why are there more patriarchies in human history than matriarchies?
In: 0
Our species evolved in a way that put males in the position of caring for and protecting women and children. When we started building civilizations, this part of our history was not lost. For the most part, men were building society while women and children were left in a safe place. Although men often took their dominance too far, often resulting in abuse, women simply had no choice but to remain in their position in society. Advanced technology has changed this over the past couple centuries but as they say, old habits die hard.
