> What man would need to track the 28-days cycle of the moon?!?
A hunter of any gender who wants to know approximately when the animals migrate or give birth, would benefit.
Things that are easy enough for anyone to track and count:
day/night cycles
lunar cycles
annual summer /winter cycles
"four moons after the middle of winter" is therefor useful as it's possible to count, more easily so than "112 days after midwinter"

- krisoft 4y agoExcellent. Can I take a ride in your time machine too? Does it only go in time or both time and space? How accurately you can aim with it? Joking aside, what pray tell is the source of this information? When you say "everywhere" and "always" how strongly you mean that?
- solumunus 4y agoIt's completely absurd to suggest that women have never hunted throughout the entirety of human history. > there were, in fact, no bad ass women huntresses standing up to the patriarchy and putting men in their place with their awesome skills. That doesn't need to be the case. Men of a patriarchy simply might decide to have female hunters, it might even be absolutely necessary under particular environmental pressures. To claim that not a single small tribal community has had female hunter(s) throughout history is frankly moronic.
- fooster 4y agoThere are numerous matriarchal societies throughout history… so basically no.

- SideburnsOfDoom 4y agoMe: "gender isn't relevant in any way to my argument, counting time in moons is useful to all because ..." thewrongthinker: "lol woke propaganda ... patriarchy ... ... ideology, lets fight about gender roles!" As "wrong think" goes it's fails hard: not much of a thought, and not even wrong.
- karol 4y agoAnyone knows of any tribes that still have pre-neolithic culture where women can be hunters under normal circumstances? That is the closest clue we may have. And what chimps do.
