Your comment did frustrate me at first but I do think you were trying to have a legitimate discussion on the topic and not trolling. I’ve been on that end of a conversation before and it’s discouraging.
Your point about physiology isn’t necessarily wrong but I would point out that different types hunting would be better suited for different genders.
If you need to be able to chase down your prey, women are better suited for cardio and endurance.
If you need to overpower your prey, men are traditionally more suited.
I’m guessing which gender did what was probably completely dependent on the prey available in your specific ecosystem, along with local culture.
But referring back to the original topic, both men and women are capable of care-taking or providing for their family. That’s backed up by archeological studies like this one.
Women, such as myself, are likely frustrated by your questions because many men in our lives use this type of argument as an excuse to avoid responsibility. Because this is a text based forum, I think we miss the body language that would come with your trying to ask an earnest question and automatically assume the worst.
Yes very true. Body language is super important in conversations like this.
For me what felt strange is that, I am a propnent of sharing household responsibilities between men and women equally. So basically equality despite difference in capability. But then, when it comes to society in general, I don't believe in equal responsibility ie rich and privilegded ppl should have more responsibility than underprivileged. And this makes me feel like a hypocrite you know?
On one example, I am thinking of equality and the other proportionality.
I guess my idealogy is still incomplete.
