According to Marxist Historical Materialism, humans were relatively egalitarian in prehistoric times. In the neolithic times, agriculture( farming, herding) created a surplus and in guarding that surplus classes developed which led to gender oppression with continues to this day. According to this guy steven goldberg patriarchy is a central innate element of humanity due to testosterone or whatever. How do we as Marxists respond to theories like this?
