Women are more interested in maintaining a social hierarchy over a functional society. That’s why high functioning societies left women in charge of household management and communal social interactions. In Ancient Greece women were in charge of the household slaves while men maintained the state and in the antebellum south women were also in charge of the household slaves while men maintained the state. Same with western society throughout with how church functions worked, women’s were the drivers of social aspects and in charge of women and children while men maintained the actual church and pulpit.
