What would happen if you didn't 'endure to the end'? ie. you took my advice a couple of posts above.
Oh no wait that's wrong, he would simply cease to exist.
Of course the real question is to why he still hasn't answered why he thinks a book
that instructs rapists to be forced to marry their victims should be followed as a
moral authority....
I guess that's because there is no answer and he wont admit it.

I would like to see your justification for what you mean by this because on the face
of it I disagree totally.

Originally posted by rwingettNo hierarchical social structure ? No leaders of the hunter gatherers? No sexual differentiation of tasks e.g. Pregnant women exempted from hunting?

Originally posted by rvsakhadeoA sexual differentiation of tasks is not equivalent to a hierarchical social structure. In hunter-gatherer societies hunting naturally tends to be a predominantly male occupation, while the gathering is predominantly female. But there has always been some overlap between them. In some primitive societies females do a significant amount of hunting.

Originally posted by rwingettWere the women who only gathered,treated on par with men who hunted? Were there not spotters of the quarry as against those chased the quarry after it was spotted? The braves who tackled dangerous quarries like boars as against those who killed hares? The complex task of hunting would have immediately resulted in upsetting the balance of this society.

Originally posted by rvsakhadeoI'm afraid the evidence does not back you up. If anything, it is the exact opposite, with females having much greater influence within hunter-gatherer societies than they do within more "civilized" societies.
