Explain to me how a system "devoid of Heirarchies" still favors men on top of the heirarchy eh?
In nature. The bigger, stronger and scarier men are the naturally dominate force. However, that is a brutal world that doesn't last long, because all men get old. So they usually set up some kind of social heirarchy that favors old men rather than young men.
So tribal cultures are usually what we call "chiefdoms" where a patriarchial leader usually runs things.
Native Americans didn't think men should farm. So the wealth was kept with women. Women preferred big strong sexy guys that were good at hunting/fighting and other men were impressed with/scared of. For a similar reason that guys like nice asses. And just like today, people do a lot of compromising in the real world.
This is also how it worked in Europe for awhile (besides maybe the females doing the farming bit). Then it evolved into Feudalism -- some of those chiefs inevitably become kings that set up a system of nobels to maintain control over an expanding kingdom...eventually empire in some cases.
Then Capitalism came along and marketed to women how nice it is to have modern gadgets and comforts purchased for you by men.
Men that can do this for women at a high rate are the top 20%
Throndor thinks hes full of useful advice on how to get up to the top 20%...and doesn't completely seem to realize that's not what were talking about.
But that's common for conservatives when confronted with how poor their ideas have performed since Reagan.

You're moving the goalposts.
In your prior post, you placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of "Capitalism" you cannot transmute this statement to mean "all non communism isms". That is the definition of moving the goalposts. Please stay within the confines of your own assertions.
Now, if there is 100$, and we split it equitably at 50$ each.....you're compulsive and wasteful and you blow your money 30 seconds later, whilst I am disciplined and minimalist and only use my money for sustenance leaving me 45$ at the end of the day, how can we be "equal" tomorrow? Do we need to split it in half again since there's technically no "difference" between us and the equation must always be balanced?
