Some of these articles focus around organized civilizations and societies which had ruling classes. Class systems lead to philosophies and culture, which lead to changes in the roles genders play. My point focuses around primitive cultures and excludes evolving civilized ones for this reason, regarding groups such as hunters and gatherers specifically - such as the tribesmen of Africa.

Some of these articles also don't make much sense to me, such as the one regarding cows. This is extremely speculatory and there is no archeological or similar proof given in the article, only credit to coincidence from what I can see. Similarly, I can't help but find the logic rather flawed, considering that before cows there were crops; and likewise, if women were in power before, they would have been the ones to control the cows in the first place.
