Feminism in prehistoric times / primitive culture

[Jeanne]

brewer, are you seriously suggesting that feminism is the advocacy of women being in charge of society? I don't think even 99.9% of feminists would agree with that. And the dictionary definition of feminism doesn't agree with you either. By the way I'm a woman, so your insults about me not being able to get laid are pretty useless.

Jeanne, why don't you elaborate a bit more on why a primitive society would not be fertile ground for any kind of feminist movement.

Larson, don't you have a sex life?  Do you believe that women should not have a sex life?  Or do you mean to imply that because you are a woman you get laid all the time with little effort?

Perhaps we don't agree on what constitutes a primitive society or "any kind of feminist movement."  To me, primitive living doesn't leave time for demanding equality, as usually both sexes are working hard to survive.  Actually...they are equally struggling, equally starving, equally dead tired and equally at risk for dying young in their brutish lives.

If you have breasts with milk, then you tie yourself to the child whether you are at hearth or gathering.  If you do not have breasts with milk, then you don't have to worry about the child and you can do a lot more.  That fact tends to divide the chores in primitive living.  

What do you think primitive women should have done to start a feminist movement so that they would have equality?
