In his latest work on ancient family and property he attempted,(affected, by Morgan's proto-anthropologist attempt,) to draw women as those beings free from all patriarchical tyranny, who had their sovereignty taken from them only when agriculture, and primal civilization was introduced.

This completely ignores the hypergamus NATURE of women. Which is hardcoded in their very core. Women could never be matriarchs, besides in the scenario where they emasculated men like they did today. also man's physical and intellectual superiority was prominent from the hunter gatherer years, and didn't need civilization to shine. In a few words, Engels was too much a theoretician but probably never lived too much with a woman to get his facts straight.

Women sold their bodies to the highest bider from the dawn of humanity. Didn't need collectivism to do so.

Sorry for the "heavy" choice of article guys, i know that not many will appreciate the references, but still the "nerdy" MGTOWs will induldge. Was rebrushing my political philosophy books lately and stumbled upon those proto-feminist bs by Engels. "Invisible Big Other" boogeymen in all responsibilo-phobic ideologies. for socialists its "the capital", for feminists "patriarchy".
