I remember reading Sapiens, and the author goes over the fact that the patriarchy exists, and that it doesn’t really make sense if you think about it. I think he had no real answer as to why. This could be it.
Do you recommend any further reading material on this theory?
Well, I was basing my idea off of Engles’s "The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State". In it he writes about the role private property played in the emergence of modern gender roles (among many other things), and listening to a Red Menace podcast about the book caused something to twig in my brain to connect declining private property ownership to the erosion of gender roles and seemingly sudden rise in queer identification
tbh this is just a half-baked idea I wanted to share lol
That’s actually an interesting theory.
