In the beginning, they both shared everything from the time they lived in caves. The men and women built their homes; they went hunting together and found the necessary raw materials in the forests that could keep them alive and thrive. A pregnant woman would in the early childhood of the child stay at home to breastfeed their offsprings, but after a few months, just as the animals share the burden of looking after their newborns, women and men changed from staying at home and hunting. As civilization forged ahead and the nomads began living in smaller villages, the women would start to stay more at home, nursing their gardens, fruit trees, and animals with the men traveling alone for their hunting expeditions. Gradually they carved their moral codes on to the rocks that became Moses' ten commandments. The men gradually acquired post-dominance. Women were handed down as children by their father to their husbands; they were legally, financially, and physically subject to the power of men for a thousand years. Until recently, men had the right to kill his wife if she were suspected of adultery - this rule still exists in some cultures today. The men reigned according to their philosophical, political, and economic designs.
