This and the responses are the real version of my troll take. No means of subsistence is inherently evil, but animal husbandry, especially of animals that produce milk, really is a fount of patriarchy and male violence. This then gets blamed on “agriculture” writ large.

It is more true then agriculture causing all of human sin as the skeets below explain, but it's important to not that it's specifically due to specific material constraints large mammals imposed on human societies that favorite patriarchal traditions, not some generalized evil force corrupting

As I noted in that broader thread, societies that tend to heavily rely on livestock for subsistence (and particularly for dairy products!) tend to be:
- Violent
- Patriarchal
- Have patrilineal inheritance
As I also mentioned, these dwarves rely a LOT on goats

(And even in societies that are primarily agricultural, the degree of reliance on livestock over crops is also associated with patriarchy, as well as with the frequency and intensity of endemic violence)
