I'm sorry, but is that honestly what you took from several paragraphs about ancient history - that they were token moments where women kinda looked badass for a second? This is the way nearly the entire world looked and operated for 97% of human history.

And WTF is even wrong with you that you think being the wife of a leader (rather than getting an opportunity to be the actual leader) is really just as good and good enough?

Why do men always have to think in terms of hierarchy? No, men were not women's "employees" - communities (including that one in Turkey that was one of the first larger enclaves of humans beyond forager bands and small villages) were all about egalitarianism - working together for the good of the community without artificial stratification until patriarchy came along and cocked it up. Wasn't that part abundantly clear? SMH
