You will be shocked, shocked to hear that "The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong"! 🙄 Duh! OF COURSE IT'S WRONG. But now there's a cool article listing the biological and evidentiary reasons, along with nifty diagrams.

Kinda makes you think anyone who can run the same distance and not die is physically superior to that schmuck.
Even if their culture had, say, only binary gender, its definition of them could have been very, very different.
People don't like it getting out that ancient cultures weren't exactly like our own. Gives folks ideas.
So seeing it reflected in nature, even if it's only through the most inaccurate and debunked studies, is being assured that this is true.

I mean, nice of you to admit that you do not understand it. But it is correct.
Sorry that reality does not fit the mental models you are equipped with.
This is what happens when you mistake reality with your notions of what reality “should” look like. Standard “GC” move.

Oh wait
you actually believe that.
You actually believe that an intentionally reductive and wrong framework actually *fits reality*
Yeah, just confirmed it. You are extremely uneducated.
Thanks for trying tho.
That's not the end of sex science, thats the utterly fundamental first step. The knowledge gets more complex from there.
And it conflicts with "man big woman sexy" narrative in our awful culture.
Imagine saying, much less believing that there is such a thing as a "binary" in biology.
Biology is so, so incredibly messy.
Beyond laughable.
(Yes, I’m using scare quotes to make it clear that this is not my belief but the other half of how I normally heard this presented)
:D
Nevertheless, men have an advantage for hunting only a some specific environnements on some preys.

Also I'll be bones, idgaf too late to care. Hush.
Nah, if people put the energy they used up in these mental gymnastics into actually learning the truth, things would be much brighter nowadays.
Squirrels are not stupid.
Hatred is just a common outcome from misunderstanding and ignorance, and is fed by cognitive biases and insecurity feelings.
Cults.
The false dogma are created to balance between these insecurities and the natural need of rationalising things (doesn't mean seeking truth, just some kind of explanation barely logic)
The evo-psych people are the ones you need to talk about.
