You throw around the word patriarchial as if you know what it means. It is a very loaded word and you should define it so I know exactly what you mean. Women have been allowed to participate but not in the way men have been allowed to participate and wanted to participate. I don't know enough about native american culture to comment but I know in jewish culture the family name passes through the female line and men are still the ones committing most of the crimes and fighting most of the wars. I didn't use docile in a negative way. I meant they are less likely to use aggression as a means of resolving conflict. There is nothing anti-female in my stance. Thanks for the anthropology tip but now you are contradicting yourself. Most of formal education is simply a reflection of the attitudes and mores of the current times especially when it comes to classes like anthropology, sociology, psychology, etc. Most people that are technically trained, math, physics, cs, etc. are quite blind to this aspect of education. What do you think they taught in anthropology, sociology, psychology classes when women had very few rights, that women were the best ever? No, those classes reflected the attitudes of men learning and teaching in higher education and the same is true now, except now depending on who teaches the classes you might get an anti-male view or a "balanced" one.
