- bitwize 13y agoNo, I've heard of it; in fact after typing that I thought "does that explain sacred cows in India?" But worshiping domesticated animals isn't as universal or persistent as patriarchy supposedly is.
- s_baby 13y agoIt's persistent in pre-traditional societies. The orthodoxy is pre-traditional societies were about equal in likelyhood between matriarchy, patriarchy, and both. If you're looking at dominant deities for this definition.
