Traditional Women's Role: Work Full Time and Be Buff

We all know that females worked very hard thousands of yrs ago, what is news about that?
Everyone had to work hard and females had the added burdon of giving birth and raising a load of kids as well.
 
They did a lot of pounding behind the barn in those days
 
How many female cleaved skulls have they found on battlefields?

Greek and roman historians both wrote of various steppe peoples with female warriors. then graves of same peopleare found that show female skeletons that are bow legged have weapons wounds and have arms on their person. Thats written and physical proof.

Its baffling why you are scoffing at this outside of sheer ignorance. One of the more well known battles in Roman britain occured from a warrior queen conducting battles with the romans.

Go crack some books and learn a thing or two.

At present, men have 10-15 times more testosterone than women. The results of this difference can be seen when comparing female athletes to males. We all know it's not even close in pretty much every single one. In the combat sports, especially.

Thousands of years ago it was probably more. Let's just say that T-levels were "only" 5-10 times more for men. While it's a lot closer,

In other words, yeah, there may have been women warriors, but they just could not have been a significant proportion. Maybe 10% at most. Having a type of soldier that's so much weaker and less aggressive simply isn't smart.

No ones saying there were armies full of chicks just that certain ancient people had the presence of female warriors on the battle field outside of a stray female or two. I picked the peoples i noted earlier because they were written about frequently enough by historians and soldiers at the time.

The women of the Celtic tribes are bigger and stronger than our Roman women. This is most likely due to their natures as well as their peculiar fondness for all things martial and robust. The flaxen haired maidens of the north are trained in sports and war while our gentle ladies are content to do their womanly duties and thus are less powerful than most young girls from Gaul and the hinterlands.

University of Cambridge archaeological excavations analyzed the strength of 89 shinbones and 78 upper arm bones from women who lived in Europe about 7,500 years ago up until the Medieval age. Then they compared those bones to those of young women in Cambridge, U.K., today, including athletes from various sports.Their findings were somewhat startling:



This finding seems to blow up the popular perception that ancient women were relegated to domestic work around the home and child rearing.

The study's conclusions:
  • Women's manual labor was a driving force behind the agricultural revolution
  • Since ancient times women have balanced a full time workload with child rearing duties. The "working mom" is not a modern phenomenon.


Let's hear it for the real women out there, not these do nothing beaches.

back then life harder, hunter gatherer, farming, ranching. Everyone had a role to play. And there were less specialists. More well rounded, had to do many things.

No office clerks, youtubers, no media pundits like Ben Shapiro who just sit and talk (unless you are village elder).

Even most greek philosophers had a day job. A lot were soldiers in their prime like Socrates.

I can buy that.

Not one or two out of a unit of, say, 5,000, but maybe 5% of it. Seems feasible.
