I mean, we have a good idea that they were, probably, more equal than unequal based on the fact everyone had to pitch in to survive.

Tho their forms of government favored aggressiveness and dominance over egalitarianism, so they tended to be very despotic because you needed control in order for your community/society to work.

So it wouldn't be much of a stretch that in these societies it was more common for men to be warriors and to defend women because they were a vital biological resource (being able to have kids and all while men couldn't), and this is the "family structure" that made the most sense given the conditions, which indeed put both men and women under unequal roles, at least until the introduction of commerce anyways.

My world history textbook? This is the best source I could find online.

In ancient civilizations when people just started farming, women were less important for getting food because men hunted and cleared land for agriculture. They usually didn't do much outside of their natural role.

Already agricultural societies, not hunter gatherers. Not humans in the state of nature. And exactly the same sort of people who wrote your book.

So all this argument over God's natural order, when in reality it's just another one of his bitchfits.

No it does not. Somewhere between seven and eight thousand years ago, according to the most reliable estimates, Adam and Eve were cursed to, for Adam:
1) the necessity of work. Hard work would be his lot; he would have to labor in the fields.
2) rebelliousness of those around him- see Cain.
for Eve:
1) dominance by, and dependence on, her husband.
2) labor pains.
for both:
1) diseases, poisons, and such. Even thistles did not exist in the world before the fall, according to the most learned experts.
2) death.
3) life in sin, and diminished capabilities.

So you're asserting as historical fact either that humanity began 7 or 8 thousand years ago, or that hunter-gatherer women don't have labor pains.

Or that hunter gatherers didn't exist and we just became humans with functioning societies.

I am asserting as historical fact that humanity is perhaps 7,500 years old; certainly not much older than 8,000 years.

In that case they didn't see family as we do now anyways, so it can't really be compared. The father wasn't head of the family because families were different.
