Try studying non-european history. Pre-historic communities in north America were generally pretty chill.

Wait, when?
If we’re talking medieval times, nope had a lord to worry about
If we’re talking bronze age, nope we were working farms for a lord precursor.
If we’re talking prehistory, nope the men were murdering each other and the women captured as trophies.

There are plenty examples of communal matriarchal preindustrial societies, enough that anthropologists suspect that was the norm i prehistory. It’s the invention of property, and thus inheritance and wealth accumulation and lineage, that leads to patriarchy and domination.

Or that prehistoric women and girls were extraterrestrial beings who, by and large, simply teleported away and died off-world, thus not leaving remains for us to find.
Hale-Bopp is absolutely chock full of the remains of prehistoric women. It’s crazy up there. Can’t even play hopscotch, what with all the femurs and skulls everywhere.
