yes but you say a tribal system adheres to those ideals but it doesnt, women are relegated to cooking and cleaning, despite the fact they may have other skills like hunting, and the men are mostly hunters and providers, decisions are left down to the elders, whilst in many cases this is a fine system, it does leave deficits, and still misses some important aspects
