Christianity and the Yearning for Matriarchy

Here is the famous passage from ‘Men and Matriarchy’ in which Mary Malone first expounds the theory that Christianity is essentially a call for the return of Matriarchy.

The first patriarchal societies, like modern patriarchal structures were founded on servitude and violence, and came into existence around six thousand years ago in such places as Egypt and Sumer. A pyramid of  tyranny lorded it over the peasants, a hierarchy of priests provided the organization and the ideology.
But throughout the ancient world there were still many places where matriarchal egalitarian societies held sway, where the dehumanising obedience of patriarchy was an absurdity.
Violence created empires of patriarchal authority which came and went, but the matriarchal principle was never totally crushed.
The Roman Empire was a super empire. It was multi national, and controlled vast areas and huge populations. It was a military bureaucratic complex the like of which the world had never known.
Within the Roman Empire the gift economy of the matriarchy was pushed aside. Taxation and military occupation was the lot of the subject peoples of the Empire. To raise the taxes a money economy was encouraged and the principle of buy and sell (reward and punishment's twin) spread over the world.
Yet, somehow the matriarchal principle survived. In the cult of Artemis at Ephesus, the followers of the goddess didn’t merely consider themselves equal to men - they considered themselves superior.
The memory of the Amazons lived on in the cult of Artemis.
So where does Christianity belong in all this?
The early Christians were vehemently anti state. They had to be reminded by the apostles not to get drawn into conflict with the state, not to be defined by opposition, not to become their enemy.
Christians would not fight in the army. They would pay their taxes because money belonged to Caesar, not themselves. But they would not worship Caesar. They could not serve two masters. Christ was King, not the Emperor of Rome.
To each according to their need was the Christian motto. No exchange, no extortion, no taxation. Just keep on giving.
Christ’s teachings seem other worldly and unnatural to we modern people, used to the worship of the I, the economy of exchange, the polity of compulsion, but for those who heard Jesus in the flesh, He was simply recalling them to a better time, a time before the Fall, before patriarchal authority, the time of Matriarchy.
