Best case, this is an absurd warning about hunting large animals on one's own. The humour would be that this woman, rather than killing the mammoth, is about to get stomped. Or a at the very least, a terse "Do you mind?"

Worst case, this is intended as "Strong independent (cave)woman don't need no (cave)man.", and in acting without said man, she has proven said maxim wrong.

I'd like to think there's enough wrong with that thinking that even the most ardent misogynist ought to find a step too far (people hunt in groups, so she would have taken friends along, surely?), so I expect the intended humour is closer to the former than the latter.

The choice of a female protagonist is an interesting one though.

I thought it was “Woman being a pain in the ass since the dawn of man.”

Wasn’t funny the first time either. Welcome to my blocklist.

Edit: looked at their post history. Not a moment too soon.

👍, I really don’t care about your opinion.
