Women are better hunter, science suggests

The entire point is that women fulfilling hunting duties likely wasn't an exceptional situation for most human groups. It was common.

Even now, in 79% of foraging societies, women fulfill a significant portion of the hunting duties.

Based on the evidence, it seems to reflect that men were/are usually the primary hunters in foraging societies but that women commonly fulfill(ed) hunting duties.

So, your assumption that women hunting is an exceptional situation is just a pop-cultural assumption based on how you believe these societies to have operated. And these pop-cultural assumptions about gender roles arise because we project agrarian and industrial dynamics onto pre-agrarian groups.

The reality seems to be that hunts were much more communal. And large hunts often involved every capable adult. And even elders and children would get involved.

Also, I've been pregnant before. And you're not bed-bound or anything like that. You can still be quite active when pregnant. I worked well past my due date during my second pregnancy. And many pregnant women do physically active jobs.

But even if pregnancy were a hindrance to action, there's only a 20 year period in a woman's life where she can get pregnant. And before agriculture, women didn't need to have so many children to fulfill farm roles.

And based on DNA evidence in women's teeth, the studies showed that pre-agrarian women often had 4-5 births in her life spaced out every 3-4 years during her fertile period... And it's estimated that only 2-3 of those children would survive to adulthood.

And in contemporary foraging groups, a similar pattern of waiting every 3-4 years to have another child is the norm... as having multiple babies at a time can be a liability in these circumstances.

And if you just look around the world, in agrarian farming societies women have often done quite hard labor all throughout human history with a baby wrapped to them. It's not an uncommon image to see women doing hard labor out in a field with a baby in tow.

you are cherry-picking. We are talking about early tribes where they hunted with wooden spears. They chased animals for tens of km. We are not talking about modern day tribes. Modern tribes have bows and arrows, Our biologies are still tens maybe hundreds of millennia old. 

You can run while pregnant. Is it optimal? No.

Women struggle to run even when not pregnant. Big titties don't run well.

All the fast women look like men. No titties.

good point.

The people in these tribes are often much skinnier because they are very active and dont have abundance of food. So the women there also have smaller breasts on average.

Olympic women look like men. Pro-sports women look like men. They are not typical women, they are cherry-picked genetic exceptions. If you measure their testosterone levels they would be closer to men than women, probably.

I am sure most of them were not really flat chested. Also because men clearly are attracted to big breasts, so it makes evolutionary sense. Boobs are some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I can stare at those things forever.

And no evidence of sports bras from Late Pleistocene epoch.

The men made the flat-chested women go out chasing gazelles all day, while the big titted ones they kept locked up at home for sex

Well no, probably not, but a bit of chest is managable.

Not all men are into giant chests, I dont really mind for example, I am more of an ass guy. But that a sizeable proportion of men are attracted to them doesnt mean they all head it or that its evolutionarily wanted. Men were attracted to absurd curves back in the day as well. 

And btw. the men also have to keep their dick in check without underwear.

So, you're saying "Men are superior with the vast majority of human occupations. But women are just superior with parenting."

Nobody said that. Women are clearly better at the whole social spectrum. They have it much easier learning subtle social cues, emotions, talking down, nurturing, listening etc. They are more conscientious, more agreeable... They are more charming with their beauty. They are less threatening.

 Just imagine how much advantage this can give you. This is why women nowadays are kicking ass and men are going down.

Men are more autistic and have to be trained like soldiers in order to mature properly, and we suck at this for the moment.
