Researchers found the female body was better suited for endurance activity “which would have been critical in early hunting because they would have had to run the animals down into exhaustion before actually going in for the kill”.
Scientists said the hormones oestrogen and adiponectin – typically present in higher quantities in female bodies – play a key role in enabling women to modulate glucose and fat, which is critical for athletic performance.
Researchers say there was no indication that ‘strict sexual division of labour existed’
Citing an example, they said oestrogen, which plays an important role in fat metabolism, helps women keep going longer and can delay fatigue.
Wider hip structures also enabled women to rotate their hips and lengthen their steps, said scientists.
“The longer steps you can take, the ‘cheaper’ they are metabolically, and the farther you can get, faster,” they said.
“When you look at human physiology this way, you can think of women as the marathon runners versus men as the powerlifters,” said study co-author Cara Ocobock, from the University of Notre Dame in the US.
Studying early human fossils, scientists identified a number of traumatic injuries similar to those received by modern-day rodeo clowns. The injuries were found on the head and chest, similar to when one is kicked by an animal.
They found the rate and patterns of these injuries and wear and tear were equal for both prehistoric women and men.
“As such, we find that both males and females have the same resulting injuries when we look at their fossil records,” said Dr Ocobock.
“So they were both participating in ambush-style hunting of large game animals,” she said.
Researchers have also unearthed in recent times remains of early women hunters who lived about 9,000 years ago in Peru and were buried with their hunting weapons.
“You don’t often get buried with something unless it was important to you or was something that you used frequently in your life,” said Dr Ocobock.
Research also indicates prehistoric women likely did not abandon hunting while pregnant, breastfeeding or carrying children.
“Nor do we see in the deep past any indication that a strict sexual division of labour existed,” scientists said.
“There weren’t enough people living in groups to be specialised in different tasks. Everyone had to be a generalist to survive,” explained Dr Ocobock.

No vibrator can beat a good shower I'm sorry
My theory is removable shower heads single handedly started second wave feminism by giving women pleasure no husband ever could
First in home showers with heads become popular: 1900 (first wave feminism)
Removable heads become commonplace across the world: 1969 (second wave)
Renting culture means women don't get the choice of built in or removable shower heads: 2000s (lack of magical mermaid orgasms=lack of class consciousness, feminism is set back)
Feminist action is giving out removable shower heads, there is hope for women🙏

Sara Jacobsen, 19, grew up eating family dinners beneath a stunning Native American robe.
Sara Jacobsen, 19, grew up eating family dinners beneath a stunning Native American robe.
Not that she gave it much thought. Until, that is, her senior year of high school, when she saw a picture of a strikingly similar robe in an art history class.
The teacher told the class about how the robe was used in spiritual ceremonies, Sara Jacobsen said. “I started to wonder why we have it in our house when we’re not Native American.”
She said she asked her dad a few questions about this robe. Her dad, Bruce Jacobsen, called that an understatement.
“I felt like I was on the wrong side of a protest rally, with terms like ‘cultural appropriation’ and ‘sacred ceremonial robes’ and ‘completely inappropriate,’ and terms like that,” he said.
“I got defensive at first, of course,” he said. “I was like, ‘C’mon, Sara! This is more of the political stuff you all say these days.’”
But Sara didn’t back down. “I feel like in our country there are so many things that white people have taken that are not theirs, and I didn’t want to continue that pattern in our family,” she said.
The robe had been a centerpiece in the Jacobsen home. Bruce Jacobsen bought it from a gallery in Pioneer Square in 1986, when he first moved to Seattle. He had wanted to find a piece of Native art to express his appreciation of the region.

“I just thought it was so beautiful, and it was like nothing I had seen before,” Jacobsen said.
The robe was a Chilkat robe, or blanket, as it’s also known. They are woven by the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples of Alaska and British Columbia and are traditionally made from mountain goat wool. The tribal or clan origin of this particular 6-foot-long piece was unclear, but it dated back to around 1900 and was beautifully preserved down to its long fringe.
“It’s a completely symmetric pattern of geometric shapes, and also shapes that come from the culture,” like birds, Jacobsen said. “And then it’s just perfectly made — you can see no seams in it at all.”
Jacobsen hung the robe on his dining room wall.
After more needling from Sara, Jacobsen decided to investigate her claims. He emailed experts at the Burke Museum, which has a huge collection of Native American art and artifacts.
“I got this eloquent email back that said, ‘We’re not gonna tell you what to go do,’ but then they confirmed what Sara said: It was an important ceremonial piece, that it was usually owned by an entire clan, that it would be passed down generation to generation, and that it had a ton of cultural significance to them.“
Jacobsen says he was a bit disappointed to learn that his daughter was right about his beloved Chilkat robe. But he and his wife Gretchen now no longer thought of the robe as theirs. Bruce Jacobsen asked the curators at the Burke Museum for suggestions of institutions that would do the Chilkat robe justice. They told him about the Sealaska Heritage Institute in Juneau.
When Jacobsen emailed, SHI Executive Director Rosita Worl couldn’t believe the offer. “I was stunned. I was shocked. I was in awe. And I was so grateful to the Jacobsen family.”
Worl said the robe has a huge monetary value. But that’s not why it’s precious to local tribes.
“It’s what we call ‘atoow’: a sacred clan object,” she said. “Our beliefs are that it is imbued with the spirit of not only the craft itself, but also of our ancestors. We use [Chilkat robes] in our ceremonies when we are paying respect to our elders. And also it unites us as a people.”
Since the Jacobsens returned the robe to the institute, Worl said, master weavers have been examining it and marveling at the handiwork. Chilkat robes can take a year to make – and hardly anyone still weaves them.
“Our master artist, Delores Churchill, said it was absolutely a spectacular robe. The circles were absolutely perfect. So it does have that importance to us that it could also be used by our younger weavers to study the art form itself.”
Worl said private collectors hardly ever return anything to her organization. The federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act requires museums and other institutions that receive federal funding to repatriate significant cultural relics to Native tribes. But no such law exists for private collectors.

Worl says the institute is lobbying Congress to improve the chances of getting more artifacts repatriated. “We are working on a better tax credit system that would benefit collectors so that they could be compensated,” she said.
Worl hopes stories like this will encourage people to look differently at the Native art and artifacts they possess.
The Sealaska Heritage Institute welcomed home the Chilkat robe in a two-hour ceremony over the weekend. Bruce and Gretchen Jacobsen traveled to Juneau to celebrate the robe’s homecoming.
Really glad that this is treated as hard hitting news, no really, I am
This is why spaces like Tumblr are so vital in changing the narrative. We cannot back down from the truth.
Because I was in the public eye, somebody synthesized explicit videos of me.
“By simply existing as women in public life, we have all become targets, stripped of our accomplishments, our intellect, and our activism and reduced to sex objects for the pleasure of millions of anonymous eyes.
Men, of course, are subject to this abuse far less frequently. In reporting this article, I searched the name Donald Trump on one prominent deepfake-porn website and turned up one video of the former president—and three entire pages of videos depicting his wife, Melania, and daughter Ivanka. A 2019 study from Sensity, a company that monitors synthetic media, estimated that more than 96 percent of deepfakes then in existence were nonconsensual pornography of women.”
the way no one fucking told me magdalen berns was an elite boxer and women's boxing pioneer. and she never advertised it because she was too humble.
and this is on top of being a leading physics scholar, selfless LGB activist, and bold speaker with an engaging sense of humor
i'm literally crying into a box of cookies right now

He was just tryna chill :(
at this point I wish advertising in general was just literally illegal. Word of mouth only. Maybe exceptions beneath a certain net value like if you’re a startup or a family run business but if you’re already making a billion dollars then making even one single commercial or banner campaign should be a crime and I mean a crime like the CEO gets investigated on national television and goes to prison forever and everyone agrees they’re a sick fucked up maniac
男性凝視不僅僅是凝視,它有資源和暴力作為支撐,男性掌握了大部分的經濟資源,越是在女性依賴男性、經濟不獨立的地方,女性越不得不試圖討好男性來獲得資源。男性凝視讓女性恐懼的另一個原因是,它和性騷擾、性暴力是直接掛鉤的。
在女性掌握和男性對等的資源與暴力以前,不可能僅靠「凝視回去」就獲得平等。凝視這個動作本身是毫無力量的,關鍵在於他凝視完了會做什麼,導致女性不得不在乎他們的眼光,迎合他們的審美。凝視是權力。女人在社會上沒有權力,所以不存在「女性凝視」。
translation:
The ‘male gaze’ is not just men looking. It’s supported by resources and violence. Men control the majority of economic resources. The more that women are dependent on men, and are not economically independent, the more women have to please men to gain access to resources. The other reason women fear the male gaze is that it is directly linked to sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Before women have the same resources and violence as men, it’s impossible to gain equality just by ‘gazing back’. The act of gazing doesn’t contain any power, the power is in what the man will do after gazing, and so women can’t not care about the gaze and have to cater to male aesthetics. Women have no power in society, so there is no “female gaze.”
what's the first movie you remember seeing in theaters? don't try and be all edgy and cool and say like tetsuo: the iron man. be honest.
