It's wild how the argument against the existence of anti-transmasculinity and of trans men's experiences with misogyny basically boils down to "I hear you, and have decided you're too hysterical/ignorant to be a reliable narrator of your own life."
if you're ever beating yourself up for 'missing the obvious hints' that someone is romantically interested in you, know this: i once met a guy who asked out a girl after she sent him nude pictures of herself in the bath and she said she wasn't interested. it is never obvious
Prehistoric graves show women wielded more than early archeologists gave them credit for.
"Some 6,000 years ago in the northern reaches of modern Latvia, a young woman died. Afterwards, a group of early humans buried her in an ancient, sacred place along a lakeshore. They carefully lowered her small teenage frame into the ground, gently placing a stone ax, 28 flint flakes, 15 blades, and a stone scraper beside her. Stained with ochre, the stone implements were part of her last rites. This young woman remained there thousands of years, until, whenĀ archaeologistsĀ discovered her along with more than 300 others in the 20th century. The site, known as Zvejnieki cemetery, is one of Europeās largestĀ Stone AgeĀ cemeteries.
Research conducted at Zvejnieki has often challenged longheld assumptions about gender roles in prehistoric Europe. For instance, the young woman interred in burial 211 described above isĀ one of several women and children buried with stone axesĀ at the site, upending the notion that axes only belonged to Stone Age men. Now, a new study published September 10 in the journalĀ PLOS OneĀ again upends gender stereotypes, demonstrating thatĀ women and children were just as likely to be buried with stone tools as men. The woman in burial 211 alone was laid to rest with a staggering 45 different stone objects.Ā
(...)
This flies in the face of a decades-old stereotype that Stone Age women didnāt use stone tools as frequently as men. The women were too busy cooking, crafting, and caring for the family to bother with the stone tools used by men in hunting and building.Ā Or so the outdated story went.
āOurĀ findings overturn the old stereotype of āMan the Hunter,āāĀ Little said in a statement. Historically, this stereotype āhas been a dominant theme in Stone Age studies, and has even influenced, on occasion, how some infants have even been sexed, on the basis that they were given lithic tools.ā
Study co-author Dr. AnÄa PetroviÄ of the University of Belgrade echoes Little: āThis research demonstrates that we cannot make these gendered assumptions and that lithic grave goods played an important role in the mourning rituals of children and women, as well as men.ā"
