This is such a brainwashed take. Genetically identical homosapiens have walked upright on Earth for at least 400,000 years. Only in the last 12,000 years, since the agricultural revolution, did we begin sorting our patriarchal society by creating arbitrary theories of value and monetary denominations to ledger the hoarding of influence and resources.

That's only 3% of human history.

For the other 97%, humanity has been radically egalitarian. Human babies are so fragile that there were no gender roles or isolated individuals hoarding power. It literally took a village for a newborn to have any chance at reaching adulthood. And nothing hunter gatherers did positioned one sex over the other. Women are just as stealthy and light on their feet as men. Bringing home foraged food and water was everyone's job.

Only after the invention of the plow, some 12k years ago, did a duty in society be more easily done by men. A duty that raised way more food than we could ever gather. So a buncha men with plows and land got together and invented a legal system to legitimize their "superiority" & hoarding of wealth and then they created a moral code to glorify it.

So sure, run the numbers. It'll give you exactly the results you're looking for so long as you begin the sim in Mesopotamia or later every time. But take into account the egalitarianism of the majority of history and you might actually get an accurate scientific reading instead of the results you're trying to manipulate into being so you can be right.
