Is the Feminist leadership trying to make human society less like chimpanzee society and more like bonobo society (female-dominated)?

Update:

Not only is bonobo society female-dominated, but adults have sex with males, females and children.

    Human beings share the most DNA with chimps - one of the few species that actually rapes and wars. Chimps have a deeply hierarchical mentality - more so than other animals. Carl Sagan and his wife's last book was about this - how much human society resembles chimp society. They theorized it was the root of problems in humanity. Was Sagan a feminist? It was a good book. Even the "alpha" males in chimp troupes weren't happy. They did compare chimps to a more peaceful primate, but I can't remember if it was bonobos or not.
