I've always found this concept such a weird one, like you need to eat and humans invented weapons forever ago... Do you really think that society would not let all genders hunt? Do you not realize that people would just do it, because they needed to eat or to provide for their families? Basically every existing hunter gatherer society that survived into modern times didn't have this kind of disparity why would you assume it's universal?
