Why are there more patriarchies in human history than matriarchies?
In: 0
The rise of patriarchies is connected to agricultural revolution. Hunter and gatherer societies werent patriarchies, but after people started to grow crops and farm animals, men became the only one who could do a certain important part of those jobs. At the same time, people starting to live in one place most of their life meant that people who could attack you over resources/steal your food or possession rised, which lead to the need of some sort of armed protection, which again was done mostly by men, since they tend to be bigger and stronger than women.
