the Incas vs. the Aztec Empire

The Incan and Aztec Empires were politically and religiously very different, but followed the same idea of gender spots in their society. Very quickly, the Aztec empire did not make any of their conquered people do anything, they left them alone while the Inca empire made them do work in families households, on farms, and in temples. Discussing the religious subject, the Incas practiced human sacrifices on the religious events every now and then, but not as much as the Aztecs; they completed this sacrifice a great amount. 

Men and women's roles is a big topic in both ancient and modern history. The Incan and Aztec empire followed the same gender roles on a normal base. The men are generally ranked as a higher position and more involved in the military issues, while the women take care of the household, and do the cleaning and caring after the children. Politically speaking, both the empires acquired this same system on the people they conquered.
