Absolute baloney.   You don't know half of which you speak, and the other half is without context or comparison to THIS culture's continual war, genocide, ecocide and theft.  In most, if not all, of the agricultural tribes in the east, south and north, and in the southwest, and there were MANY, women owned the lodges and the crops.   In the Iroquois League, women appointed the men in most cases of representation, and they were quite able to take out one they felt failed the people.   

I'm sometimes sad for the men and women in this mysognystic culture, a culture so immersed in oppression and one form of slavery or another, that the people believe it is "normal" and what "everyone does."   But most of the time, I'm not. 

You don't bother to think in any depth at all, like what a difference money makes in a culture, or writing and its capacity to perpetuate ideas, good and bad, or a theocracy of 1500 years, massive disparity of wealth and power, etc.  But you should!
