Under the mode of agricultural gathering and hunting production, women's gathering and production provide more heat sources for their groups. Moreover, compared with hunting, gathering provides the necessary heat source, and the meat captured by hunting activities is only a supplement to maintain life. So the gender relationship between them is equal.

Women spend a lot of time taking care of children and have less opportunities to engage in other agricultural production activities, so the authority of men can be strengthened in social concepts.

Women's social status is not static. In addition to the influence of culture and religious belief, the formation and evolution of people's concept of equality between men and women is also in the process of continuous development and improvement.

Posiap put forward in the 1970s that the current gender inequality in various countries is rooted in the agricultural practice itself in its pre-industrial society. There is a great difference in the form of labor organization between the agricultural production mode of crop rotation and the large-scale farming agricultural production mode of early human beings.

The agricultural and forestry rotation production mode is based on labor-intensive production, which requires a large number of workers to hold hoes, shovels and other tools for production. On the contrary, the agricultural production mode of cultivated land is capital-intensive, mainly using human or animal power to pull plows for large-scale agricultural production operations. In addition, ploughing production is different from using hand tools, such as hoes. Ploughing requires stronger upper limb strength, not only to control the direction of the plow, but also to control the pulling force.

Under the agricultural production mode of ploughing, male labor force has more comparative advantages than female. Therefore, men are mainly engaged in agricultural production activities outdoors, while women are engaged in production activities inside the family. This social division of labor in the early agricultural society determined the different economic and social status and roles of men and women in society, until the deepening of ideas, which affected the current gender inequality between men and women in various countries.
