Did women also hunt? Yes.

"As much as men"?

No, beyond any shadow of doubt. Stop trying to white wash over history and verifiable evidence to try and push your personal agenda of stoking culture-wars.

Unless we're talking about tribes where the men took care of the children, the above statement is exaggerated at best and borders on anti-history/anti-anthropology nonsense at worst.

You might as well post that the men spent as much time taking care of the children than the women. And if you can admit that is false for the majority of human history, then you can clearly see how this being false also disqualifies the "women spent as much time hunting" statement.

Again, there is no debate on the fact that many women were great hunters and not just gatherers, but you also can't deny that most of the women took care of the kids.

Looks like I took the bait, didn't I...smh lol

What if I were to tell you that the word "some" was implied instead of the "all" that you decided was the implication instead?

Edit: understood the misunderstanding. I read the meme as "All", instead of "some".
