General Discussion

Early agricultural societies had female deities, especially fertility goddesses and priestesses. They sacrificed human beings to the fertility goddess. In other regions of the world, brutal regimes conquered other groups, often slaughtering the men and taking women as sex slaves. Roman's did that, too, when they conquered nations.

Brutality, genocide, human sacrifices, slavery. are human behavior traits that you can find in the histories of ancient societies in many regions of the world regardless of male or female dominance or whether the societies were monotheistic or polytheistic. And they exist today on a variety of regions.

When we assume that some dark and brutal behaviors belong only to one particular society or nation, we run the risk of becoming like them because we ignore our own potential as humans to fall into a similar pattern of the baser side of human nature.
