as long as a pretechnological society must confine women to childbearing and domestic labor, and enlist men in military and hunting activities, and other sorts of heavy lifting, patriarchy is natural.

Pretechnological societies relegated men to such roles as fighting and hunting not only because they are stronger, but because men are disposable: one man can fertilize many women, so losing some of the men would not risk the survival of the group, as losing women would. I do not see how this leads to a "natural" patriarchy.
