Neolithic revolution?

Well the NR was the transition to agriculture. Instead of men and women being equal in a hunter-gather society, women became less equal and society became patriarchal (male dominant). Women became less equal because now only the men had to tend the crops and women could stay home and have kids and take care of them and the house. It also created social cles, because now people can aculate wealth, where as in hunter-gather society they were nomadic and couldn't hold onto land or treasures, but now they can.
