This hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m still feeling a little nauseous after this realization.
This is a wonderful presentation. I just had to add these:
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that gender egalitarianism isn’t possible among humans, or that our species’ “natural” state is one of gender oppression.
^Let’s all remember this the next time someone tries to say that Africans are all a bunch of savages compared to us civilized folk.
To add to the archeology bit, let’s remember that it took until 2013 for someone to bother doing an analysis of the handprints and strokes in cave paintings and figure out they were likely done by women. Archeologists “just assumed” they had been drawn by men for centuries.
