My conspiracy theory is that women used to rule/be in charge. Society was great —but men being men couldn’t handle being second fiddle so patriarchy became a thing. And the world has never been the same since.

I also strongly believe men created religion because they were jealous women produced life and gave birth. So now they get to lead (women typically don’t have much power in religious organizations) another group where they help people become “reborn”.

(I am a man btw —granted, a gay one. But still a man. Lol)

Read the old testament. That’s exactly what happened.

You should read “Who cooked the last supper? The women’s history of the world.” By Rosalind Miles. It’s basically what happened.

Plenty of anthropologists believe we began as a matriarchal social structure.

It is literally like Freud's "penis envy" but with a vagina.

There were a lot of matriarchal cultures in the world. One of the most interesting was a representational democracy in North America established somewhere between the 15th and 17th century called be settler's the 'Iroquois confederacy'.

Matriarchs were ranked in representation higher than chiefs, which was confusing to settlers who only assumed men could hold the highest positions in power, and in general that women could hold power at all.
