but this is what I complain about. but yeah, i went over the rails, you are right. you have a point.

in that other thread, i mean, where the crosspost is, they talked a lot about patriarchy and stuff.

and i wondered: if women in the past were hunting and thus using their skill like men do and yada yada, not gender roles like today and stuff, does that mean that there was no patriarchy back then?

There are tribal people that live in matriarchy. If that answers your question. Also, the amazons are not just a myth.

But you asked exactly that - and I gave you examples of women that "were hunting and thus using their skill" and there was no patriarchy in some of those systems - even into the present.

Also - let's be real - most men nowadays who talk about "men hunting" are fat slobs who couldn't hunt a chicken with a limp ;)
