Gathered/trapped (female contributed) foods provided approximately 50% of average caloric intake in most forager societies outside of the Arctic. And there are a lot of interesting social rules about the sharing of hunted meat (highly desirable but less reliable). Men do have to be willing to put skin in the game and contribute in some significant (sometimes risky) way to be considered an acceptable mate, though.
- rudrigu 10y agoMen cannot give birth, so they are more expendable and are given risky tasks, like hunting and protecting the tribe from other tribes. The average 20 year old woman is much more valuable than the average 20 year old man.
