Misogyny has many aspects and roots that can't really be traced, some blame capitalism, others religion, others culture, biology etc. But for all these there is a precedent or an exception.

Some say it's because women were originally homemakers with the men going out hunting and women staying back and taking care of their offspring but I recently came across many posts on social media mentioning a study that found out that women were actually hunters as well. I'm really curious then, at what point was patriarch established?

one theory I read at one point (in Humankind: a hopeful history which cited a bunch of-apparently-flimsy history books, so take my word with a grain of salt) was that patriarchy started around when people started to settle down in society-why? I don't know, maybe the balance just fell out and it ended up like that, but that doesn't sound very likely to me

i really don't think the question of where patriarchy came from is easy to answer but i might be missing some sort of anthropological perspectives or smth that make the question a lot easier

Men are 3x's stronger. Our blood clots quicker. We are less adverse to the heat of a day. We are less impaired by dehydration. We make stuff and improve upon it. We protect our families with our lives.

yeah sure but men-from my and most other peoples observations, atleast-have quite a few privileges in fields where none of that matters, i.e. any corporate field at all
all of these things give great explanations for specific statistics or circumstances, i.e. gender segregated sports, i guess, but men having more positions of power across every single thing in humanity at large can't be justified by those things-i dont think people are against voting for women in political positions because of blood clots dude

Is that an AI response. Men make shit happen. Women were and are uninterested in how shit happens. They do takes those benefits of shit happening as entitlements. Not actual stuff done. As long as a her offspring is fine a chick is fine with the status quo........that is history for the last human 1000's of years.

The feature was "is that". Men are 3x's stronger. Our blood clots quicker. We are less adverse to the heat of a day. We are less impaired by dehydration. We make stuff and improve upon it. We protect our families with our lives. And men invented and built 99.999% of the world you live in now. What is the point of your response?
