The Origin of the Battle of the Sexes

Matriarchy ruled *****sapiens for many a generation.
Patriarchy ruled neanderthal clans within neanderthal civilizations.
*****sapien clans were all led by women shaman.
The shaman and her clans women were all provided for by the men.
Both sexes of both species were involved with hunting and gathering.
The more a *****sapien male provided, the better his chances of getting a women.
Neanderthals however were male orientated.
The stronger neanderthal male took whatever women he wanted and mated.
Perhaps our encounter with the neanderthals is when our battle of the sexes did begin.
When asked of a male *****sapien
(who also happened to have a neanderthal male as his best friend)
why he killed the clans' most beloved shaman,
he responded in typical neanderthal fashion,
"What can I say? She just wouldn't listen,"
and then hence, Our Battle of The Sexes did begin.
