Today we stand without a single enduring creative or scientific tradition or institution, not art or music or writing, nor philosophy or psychology or medicine, that doesn’t still express remnants of this lopsided, masculine-dominated trajectory.

Even history and anthropology still struggle with this limited vision. The prevailing hunter-gatherer theory of early human behavior has long seen men in the role of hunters, supplying the bulk of the food, while women care for the young and gather local edible plants. Largely absent from the model is any nod to the roles that women—like so many other female mammals—may have had in directing and sustaining alliances or prompting peace deals. At this point, we really don’t even know how much actual sustenance came from hunted animals versus the plants harvested by women. It’s like assuming that just because the male leader of a wolf pack is physically stronger, that his actions are the critical keys to delivering elk to the pack. Yet beyond the fact that female wolf leaders can be also powerful hunters, as often as not they’re the ones who determine where and how to find the elk in the first place.
