But scientists have reviewed the evidence and found that women were likely the superior prehistoric hunters, and biologically better suited to the arduous job of finding meat.

The female hormone, she says, is “really the unsung hero” as it better modulates how quickly a person burns their energy reserves and delays fatigue. Adiponectin protects the muscles from wasting away and this would have been crucial in long, drawn out hunts. The wider hips of a woman also are an advantage, a physiological study published in American Anthropologist found. Likely an adaptation to aid in childbirth, they also allow women to rotate more when walking or running, which elongates the stride, making movement more efficient.

“We can just say that male physiology is female thanks to modern trans theory; therefore, it was women all along who were the superior physical sex.

I'm not sure how that translates to actually taking an animal?

The T&A means the meat usually comes to them.

I guess we will find out when it eventually cracks off one day and men have to put women back in their place.

Its coming, just a matter of time before the hammer comes down.

Guess thats why female bball and soccer players blow out knees more often than their male counterparts. Those wide hips put more pressure on those joints. Maybe back then the geometry was different.

Women were able to lure animals to them using the scent of their period blood.

This is what people don't understand. Equality, in all of its forms, is a legal fiction that only exists due to civilized society. Once that thin veneer wears off, its back to survival of the fittest.

50% of science studies are eventually debunked.

Women have a metabolism better suited to endurance, according to Dr Cara Ocobock, director of the Human Energetics Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame.

‘Going for the kill’
“[This] would have been critical in early hunting because they would have had to run the animals down into exhaustion before actually going in for the kill,” she said.

What a stupid fricking conclusion.

They may have a hormone that gives them a metabolism suited better to endurance, but men still have better endurance overall so who gives a shite.
