pretty much every study of these sort of things show that there is very little difference in performance between women and men - maybe on the scale of 5%. There is more difference between members of the group than there is between the genders. so it didn’t really make much difference when it came to deciding who should do what.
ultimately, it doesn’t matter, the difference is so slight that it was basically not noticeable, if it even did exist.
all modern anthropological research demonstrates that women and men pretty much did an equal share of all tasks, including hunting and raising children. if your masculinity can’t handle that fact then I’d recommend therapy.

You really like that therapy line huh. Look there is a reason we have womans and men's divisions in sports. Men would destroy the woman at almost all sports. If your fragile femininity cannot handle that, I recommend therapy. This has nothing to do with my masculinity and everything to with science and results. Sorry it doesn't work out the way you want it to. Again. Therapy.
Edit: word
Actually, the history of why women divisions arose in sports is far more nuanced than you seem to believe. The main reasons for doing so were primarily rooted in sexism. Historical records show that women were able to compete with, and win against, men in sporting events during the early middle ages.
Anyways, I see there’s no reasoning with you, so I hope you have a pleasant evening
What are you even looking at records from the middle ages for? Humans haven't changed that much since then lmao. All we have to do is look at records from today. And guess what? Across the board men perform at a way higher level in almost all sports and physical activities. What makes you think the reason for different divisions was sexism? if the woman could compete with the men society would let them. Especially nowadays, why don't you see men's vs woman's hockey on TV? Because it would be boring, the men would beat the woman everytime it wouldn't even be fair. This is a really hard pill for you to swallow isn't it?
And looking at you comment history it doesn't look like you have any personal experience being athletic in the slightest, let alone being near the top in a given sport. You are disabled and can't stand without sever pain. I have been an athlete my entire life and so have my sisters. Guess what? I can destroy every one of my sisters at every sport and it's not even close. And they aren't couch slobs, they play sports at a very high level, they just play against other woman. They know they don't stand a chance against the men. We're two very different things when it comes to physical ability.
