Women are better hunter, science suggests

Woke here means leftist, not spiritually woke.

Woke agenda is often Marxist, anarchist, moralistic, and seeking arificial equality.

And even if they would have pushed for good stuff, they have to understand that progress will never happen overnight. And if they push for too much progress, they might end up with regress due to ego backlash.

There's also strong evidence that women do very well with endurance over long-distances... with women sometimes even being the outright winners of ultra-marathons when competing with men and other women. 

She psyched her male competitors out by nagging in their ears about nothing in particular for 250 miles

How in your opinion, did they rig up the study where they found a bunch of female skeletons buried across a variety of regions in the Americas with game-hunting tool kits?

They don't need to rig that.

The problem is higher up stream. Just because they found some women who hunt in some part of the world does not make it disprove larger average trends.

No one is denying that some women in some cultures hunted. And some women were cannibals. So what?

In ancient times women had to be more hardy just to survive. A man isn't always around to save you. So women had to step up or die.

Damn! Her lung capacity is amazing to be able to win an ultra-marathon whilst nagging the whole way.

@Alexopit's men's problem, not women's or anyone else's. It's not the left that's pushing this. It's the right that is too uncomfortable living alongside people who are different from them. It's the right that pushes people toward radicalization.

I was pushed to the left because of this right-wing madness. And my point still stands: the far right is the problem, not the left. Claiming that both sides are equally responsible is a false equivalence.

 This one really came as a surprise to me. Good on her !

@Leo Gura To me, woke means being aware. Being aware of the injustices happening around us. Being aware that you're part of a society that includes everyone.

You can lump anything you don't like under the label "woke," but that doesn't mean that's what woke actually means. Woke means awareness. Being conscious of what's happening around you. It's not Marxism or any of that. The right connects it to those things to make people afraid of it, but that's not what it actually means.

And what's so wrong with fighting for equality? What's so wrong with standing up against social injustices? That's what I find weird. We should be doing those things. I genuinely don't understand what's so wrong about wanting a fairer society for everyone.

No one is denying that some women in some cultures hunted. And some women were cannibals. So what?

The study was over 100+ different burial regions in the Americas... which is a very large land mass. It's like a quarter of the world's total land mass.

So, it wasn't a small area that was studied.

And the cannibalism and hunting comparison doesn't match. Those are apples and oranges.

First off, I don't think that cannibalism was ever gender-delineated. So, it's not like we have historical narratives like, "Men were the cannibals and women were the non-cannibals." Then, that gets debunked and we discovered, "Oh! Even though men in most cultures were the primary cannibals... women often partook in cannibalism too."

Secondly, hunting was a component of the vast majority of cultures... if not every culture. And cannibalism was not.

So, cannibalism itself is less relevant to the understand of how the majority of human cultures functioned compared to the topic of hunting.

So, saying that the answer to the question of, "How many societies had women in the role of hunter?" is just as insignificant as "How many societies had female cannibals?" is just dishonest.

And you're just looking for a way to maintain your worldview in the face of opposing evidence... which is very human of you.

Fine.

But this does not change the fact that women are optimized for mothering and men are optimized for providing.

Valid scientific facts can be used to come to false and absurd conclusions. The ego manipulates science to construct a view that serves its political agenda.

Woke has many positives. But it also denies many harsh truths and refuses to see the numerous negative consequences of its viewpoints.

But it is much more than that.

Woke is an ideology.

This happened in my country with Jeremy Corbyn.

Of course Corbyn didn't take responsibility for the backlash

Great example. Obama-Trump shift too.

They will always use the exceptions in order to argue e against the norm.

Of course you become masculine when there is no masculine entity to protect you. To make you feel safe, lead and taken care of. E.g. most long relationships
