So... if women hunted, AND took care of child care, what did the men do?

Researchers found that women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.

Child care posed little problem: Mothers carried infants or left them at camp with other community members; older children often tagged along, hunting as well.

Very interesting.

Not something the average conservative white-christian douche will accept easily. 🤷‍♂️ 😂

For any of my fellow #FFXIV #Crafters and #Gatherers out there, I made a handy Teamcraft list for the new Splenderous Tools if it helps (has both DOH and DOL).

I haven't done the gathering ones, but assuming the same 60 items as crafters and perfect fishing collections.

Thank you, Nina Bagley, for this. I, too, am a gatherer of remnants and broken things. #poem #remnants #remainders #broken #gatherers https://mybeautfulthings.com/2021/07/14/a-poem-a-poppy-and-a-new-outfit/gathering-by-nina-bagley/
