Of the human species the most male dominated are ogres. Male ogres tend to be around 50% larger than females at least, and this physical domination extends to social situations as well.The most gender equal of the human species are the gnomes. There is a slight sexual dimorphism in this species, but to a very slight degree. As a result gnomes tend to the greatest degree of monogamy and social equality.Of the non-humans the halflings tend to a human pattern of gender dominance, while the kobolds in contrast have an effectively female dominated society. That is, the leader of a koblod troop is always a male, but the troop females will take action to dispose of a leader they don't like.(The story goes that during The World War a human female (political prisoner) met a kobold female (undesirable) in a French concentration camp. The two got to talking, and the kobold learned much of the nature of General Henri Petain, Protector of France. When she had learned enough the kobold silenced the human and asked, "If you knew what sort of man he was, why didn't you kill the son of a bitch?")</blockquote>
