Prof Kemi FG (kfuentesgeorge@universeodon.com)'s status on Tuesday, 07-Nov-2023 06:27:29 JST Prof Kemi FG

My "favourite" thing about this study is the part where achaeologists who found hunting tools/weapons in women's graves assumed they were kitchen implements.
Like, "well Hans, in this woman's grave, we found what inscriptions at the time have named the Flail of Vengeance. As of right now, we are not sure to what culinary task this tool was turned, but conjecture that it was possibly the preparation of small pies."

  Men are hunters, women are gatherers. That was the assumption. A new study upends it.
  
  The implications are potentially enormous, says history professor Kimberly Hamlin: "The myth that man is the hunter and woman is the gatherer ... naturalizes the inferiority of women."
