Is There a Sexual Division of Labour?
A sexual division of labour over a food is very, very universal and ancient. Men hunt and women gather in hunter gatherer societies. Some people think this is the sexest view. But i think it's just that, unlike other species, we really did invent this useful distinction whereby you got the best of both worlds. You got protein from hunting, but you got the reliability of food from gathering. And no one loses in that trade.
