Key Notes
In response to the Pangu question, Jiang says original creator gods should be imagined as asexual, nonsexual, or both male and female because divine creation requires balanced forces.
Jiang says later societies can change a god's gendered traits to reflect hierarchy, so a once-female or balanced creator figure might later become male.
War begins when population pressure creates discarded young men who raid other societies for women; property, marriage, hierarchy, and male status then rise together.
Jiang argues the Yahwist was probably a woman because the writing centers domestic tragedy rather than war and conflict.
Jiang reads Creusa's disappearance or death as Virgil's model of the 'good wife': she removes herself so Aeneas can embrace Rome's future and avoid dishonor.
Jiang contrasts agricultural societies, where life-giving and harmony made women more important, with violent pastoral society, where protecting cows and fighting made men more important.
Jiang describes Yamnaya conquest as a gendered violent process in which conquering men killed local men and married local women.
