Women were hunters in most societies studied, NOT just gatherers.
"Dr. Wall-Scheffler and her students found evidence of women hunting in 50 of the 63 societies they studied; moreover, 87 percent of that behavior was deliberate. In cultures where hunting was the most important means of finding food, women took an active role 100 percent of the time."
"Often, the oldest women participated the most. (In one bow-and-arrow culture, for example, a grandmother was prized for having the best aim.)"
Not gonna lie, to me it sounds like from our earliest days women were bringing home the bacon AND frying it up in a pan AND taking care of kids. Men seem to have had fewer responsibilities overall.
