am not been ofensive just wonderingWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Guys have testosterone, which girls don't!. Testosterone is the hormone that makes guys want to fight, hunt, chase and kill things!. also, girls were home looking after the baby!. Very hard to track down a saber toothed tiger if you're packing a two-year old with you!. Your question isn't offensive - things were a whole lot different in those days!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I hate you people and those dame Geico cave man adds!. The men hunt so the moms can teach the little cave baby's to dance, thus those funky moves seen on the Geico adds were obtained!. I have read that the Geico (It is geico,right!?) cave men were better at chucking a spear than the chicks, so in order to evolve they had to constantly defend the "Theory of Evolution", without which they could not have evolved, from the ongoing attacks of ravenous herds of entropy and other wild scientific laws which threatened the survival of that docile and emaciated "theory"!. Yeah, frickade!.!.!. I think they still have one of those tribes around today, and I think they subsist around the Bay Area under that dame orange (Its not golden, its not even yellow!.)bridge!. Ha Ha Ha! Mike is just trying to piss off the Lady's, and 3 thumbs down means its working!. But he really love you cave chicks!. PS Turn down the feminism, the 70s and 80s are over, back to the kitchen already!!!!!! I am starving-Ha Ha HaWww@QuestionHome@Com because in the beginning, cavemen were pigs and just wanted sex!. so, keep you "woman" safe so you could have more sex!. then the men sucked at raising children, so the wife stayed homw to take care of the massive amounts of children they were having and the man had no choice but to go and get food or they will all die!. then it evolved into women being too, "sensitive" and men liking pale, frail women who could entertain them!. then came the 60'sWww@QuestionHome@Com Probably because women gave birth and then had to feed and nurture the young!. Anyone who thinks that giving birth and raising children isn't hard work should try it sometime!.Www@QuestionHome@Com We are stronger, faster, etc!. Plus, hunting requires strategy and clever thinking!. This requires brainpower!. Men have larger brains than women!. It's Science!. You can't argue with that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You assume that this is true everywhere!. There are societies where the women hunt and toil and the men raise the children, cook and worry about their makeup!. The Aka tribe as one example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Men have greater arm strength which made them better at throwing spears!. Women were needed to raise children!.Www@QuestionHome@Com they were made for speed, agility, and strength!. therefore inherited the roleWww@QuestionHome@Com nutsWww@QuestionHome@Com It comes down to the practical business of women being the ones who have babies and nurse them!. Children slow you down!. men could go off hunting, while women would gather plant food(berries, nuts, roots etc), which is much easier to do while carrying a baby and/or leading a small child!. Of course, we cannot prove that our prehistoric ancestors lived the same way present-day hunter gatherer societies do, but it seems more than likely that they did!. They may have had women hunters, but this is something that doesn't occur a great deal in hunter gatherer societies that we are aware of!. The woman's role of gathering plant food extended naturally into agriculture, which I believe is why in primitive agricultural communities women do the farming!. In societies which do not have plumbing, women may also spend a great deal of their time fetching water, either drawing it up from the well if they are lucky enough to live in a village that has one, or fetching it sometimes from a great distance!. I would not say that men have worked harder than women!. Throughout most of history, women have had to work very hard indeed!. As well as raising the children, women have generally been responsible for cooking and preserving food (food preservation being vital in societies where fresh food was in short supply in winter time)!. They would milk the cows, look after the poultry, and make their own butter and cheese!. They have also generally been responsible for providing clothing, first by curing and preparing skins for clothing, and later by spinning and weaving wool or flax into cloth, and then making it into clothing!. A woman could spend several hours a day spinning!. Before the indusrial era, many household items like candles and soap were generally made at home as well!. Women have also generally been responsible for caring for the sick!. During the medieval and early modern period women were expected to have a good knowledge of medicine and first aid, and even to be able to set broken bones!. In colonial America, women worked like demons, doing all of the things I have described above and, in the early years of the colonies, often having to work alongside the men in the fields as well, when labour was short!. Not to mention coping with providing hospitality to visitors and taking people in in times of emergency!. In the frontier towns, the wives of the leading citizens were responsible for sheltering the rest of the community when Indians threatened!. The visitors were called "garrison crowds" and they sometimes stayed long past their natural welcome!. Elizabeth Saltonstall of Haverill, Massachusetts, entertained sixty guests for months on end during the Indian alerts of 1694!. Another important thing to remember is that childbirth was, until recently, an extremely hazardous business!. About 10% of women used to die in childbirth, due to the lack of antispetics which has nowadays drastically reduced that percentage in developed societies!. Only since the middle of the 19th century has childbirth become less dangerous for women!. So although men might have to risk their lives in war, women were risking their lives just as much, or more, by giving birth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
