To the basic development of ancient farming and herding societies. It was female slavery that was the basic foundation of those society's wealth. Like most of the pre civil war wealth that came from slave labor, so did these ancient goat herders' wealth. They didn't even have a word for male slaves ......at first.

As those societies evolved, slavery evolved, god myths evolved, and economics evolved. Of course all three would be centered around men because in those societies, men were masters women were slaves. Patriarchal rules and abuses of women have their seed in ancient female slavery. It was integrated into everything. That's where polygamy came from, it's probably the beginnings of feudalism too.

There were societies that weren't based on female slavery but they didn't take over like the female slave societies.
