I totally agree. Stupidity does not choose a gender. | There are some "truths" that are wrong, in that they are "wrongs to society"...as in ills. For instance, sexism, agism, racism, slavery, child abuse, pedophilia....just b/c they occur doesn't make them right... | |

But anything good and just can be perverted and made into something bad.

Hunting was not as common or productive as people thought. | But predators were common, and do you think the men didn't forage too? Someone built the huts, made the tools, scouted the next settlement. Life wasn't simple. There are still hunter gatherer societies today. And most are still led by men.

Points: 10,008, Level: 66 | Level up: 67%, 42 Points needed | | There are only about 3000 thousand San that still follow a totally traditional lifestyle of hunting and gathering (out of a population of 95,000). Groups (or bands) usually number 10 to 15 individuals and move around frequently to find new foods to gather, water resources and to follow migrating game. Shelter is temporary and made of branches tied together in a semi-circle with grass tufts on top. Groups are made up of family members and there is no official leader or chief. The San men traditionally hunt and the women are responsible for gathering. Hunting is a collaborative exercise and the meat is always shared among the group. The San are expert hunters with bows and arrows tipped with poison. Gathering has less social significance but generally provides up to 80% of the food. The San Bushmen (Basarwa): Kalahari Desert, Namibia and Botswana | |
