>>> nature and evolution Evolution of humans doesn't happen so fast that it doesn't encompass hunter-gatherer cultures (or pre-historic cultures in general, the latest of which were agricultural).

  Except women have been entering the workforce en-masse only about 70 or so years ago, in the post-WW2 industrialization. No need to bring up evolution for that.

    You brought evolution up. And women exiting the workforce was a modern, temporary convenience, primarily for the middle classes. The only thing genuinely new is that women and men now have exactly the same job opportunities (with only minimal exceptions). https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1345/women-in-the-middle-ages/ https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1345/women-in-the-middl... > women worked alongside men in the fields and in the medieval guilds as equals or near-equals. > Throughout the Middle Ages, lower-class women were bakers, brewers, milkmaids, barmaids, artisans, weavers and, primarily, tenant farmers who worked alongside their husbands and children in the fields. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1136/women-in-ancient-china/ https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1136/women-in-ancient-c... > Women of lower status, such as farmer's wives, were expected to work in the fields - especially in regions where rice was cultivated. > Many women were forced into prostitution in times of drought or crop failure. Women worked in the home weaving silk and caring for the silkworms that produced it. Some were called upon, like men, to perform the labour service which acted as a form of taxation in many periods of ancient China, but this was only in exceptional circumstances. By the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE) women had more freedom and were running inns and acting as midwives amongst other professions. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/623/women-in-ancient-egypt/ https://www.worldhistory.org/article/623/women-in-ancient-eg... > Women, therefore, were regularly employed as weavers, bakers, brewers, professional mourners, sandal-makers, launderers, basket weavers, cooks, waitresses, or as a "Mistress of the House," known today as an estate owner or property manager. Female brewers and launderers frequently supervised male workers.
