Lastly, Spotted Hyenas AREN'T matriarchies.
They are matrilineal and matrifocal clans.
So males travel to new clans to find a mate in order to prevent inbreeding whilst the females remain in their original birth clans.
Males aren't excluded from decision making, resources, reproduction and aren't even victims of gender dominance in fights.
In fact Spotted Hyena females are more likely to attack and kill other females than males.
The Females are more likely to kill the offspring of other females than males are.
Your life as a male Hyena is easier and safer than a male lions.

So the actual analogy to humans would be a small man married to a tall low IQ wife with a gigantic clit who beats up other women and can't give birth without a cesarean because they have male hips.
That's just a failed female.
