The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences.

The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

It doesn't seem that is so clear cut:
Men were long crafters, and women long hunters.
Men need to find animal
Women needed to make sure it was safe to eat
The hunter vs gather comparison seems silly when it was men doing both based on what was readily available
also not to mention, just because someone is 10% worse at doing something, doesn't mean that they're completely useless at it, and shouldnt do it at all. It may be something where they each have specific roles in taking down large game for example. Just not the same one.

Most food eaten wasn't harvested from animals for most of human history in most cases. The obsession with hunting and meat consumption is a cultural one FROM CURRENT CULTURE (especially in the US where I live).
There really is no good reason to enforce our current conceptions of gender, masculinity and feminity on wildly big swaths of human history. It is always a lie best case, worst case it plays into dangerous narratives about who "men" and "women" are """""naturally""""" supposed to be.
These kinds of reductive generalizations seem fun to make but they are hurtful, just plain wrong and honestly just kind of boring compared to the actual truth.
Lol, you’re silly
