Tacitus' The Germania or Tolstoy's The Cossacks provide good descriptions of this reality.

That's true as well, but the issue at hand was sex differences, and the vast majority of human evolution has taken place in foraging/H&G societies, not agrarian ones. Either way, the point is the same. To try to support the church's position by pointing out sex differences (As DJRoss did) is silly according to the known behavior of humans of any period of time.
