Men aren't too shabby either. Give them an acre they grow enough food to get through the winter. Give them a rifle, they fill the freezer with food to get through the winter without having to eat like a rabbit. Give them a tree, they build a house so you don't freeze to death in the winter. See where I'm going with this?
In the 18th and 19th Century they did. Today, not so much. Safeway does just fine to stock my freezer and the guy who built my house, built others like it. Our role as Hunter-Gatherer has changed. Women's roles basically have not.
