The influential idea that in the past men were hunters and women were not isn’t supported by the available evidence

    Interesting rebuttal to evidence of peak female athletes getting bodied by fairly average high school aged males.

      In terms of stamina and the ability to endurance hunt? It’s true. Peak female runners and peak male runners tend to average out in the marathon, the records being about 10 minutes apart. For bursts of speed needed to play Soccer and other sport? Men take the win easily. Also, these are not peak female athletes, they are just a “pro” tram from Australia.

        the U.S. Women’s National Team

        Your arguments would be more convincing if you could read.

            And you downvote me for being correct?

            It must really hurt that reality doesn’t agree with you.

                Oh, that was me. I think they’re being unnecessarily unfriendly in an otherwise reasonable discussion. Bad vibe.
