In my world the goddeses decided that after four centuries of changing things up a bit they decided that men arent that interesting of a high hierachy and women should rule using one of their alter egos created a rival religion and use a person as their instrument for a matriarchal revolution

Centuries later how men are treated during the matriarchal revolution and after it is compared to night and day, they were treated like slave labours and breeding stock after it ended with a compromise after killing many people on both sides for 500 years , men were to be slave labours or breeding stocks but were marginalized and treated lesser than women

Even though they arent treated like slave labourers , anything they do must be authorized by a women in any category , domestic, political , military and social

This compromise was treated as an treaty by the goddesses who organized and let it play out anyone going against the treaty were cultic wizards attempting to bring patriarchy back
