The study asserts that in the patrilineal society, some households are headed by women or headed jointly, but most are headed by men. In the matrilineal society, men are forbidden from owning land (and are supposed to hand over cash earnings to their wife or sister). It does not discuss what percentage of the households are headed by women/men/jointly, and appears to assume all of them are headed by women.
This alleged aspect of matrilineal societies is more piously hoped for by white ivy league anthropologists, than actually observed.
Indeed. It was somewhat obvious when reading the paper that they tested the degree of male dominance in the patrilineal society but reported no such tests in the matrilineal society.
