Feminism in prehistoric times / primitive culture

[Regina]

I'm not arguing that feminism existed in prehistoric society, I'm arguing that;

A) It probably wasn't seen as necessary then because, even if most people conformed to gender roles, they chose to rather than being forced to, and many people probably chose not to.
B) People simply had more on their minds then, like where the next meal was and finding the most sheltered place to pop the next baby out

I'm not arguing that prehistoric women were fighting for the right to vote on who the village chief was, or that prehistoric gays were having Pride parades through the forest. My point is that prehistoric society was probably a great deal freer, although while simultaneously being more concerned with survival than what would have been seen as "trivial" social issues in the context of the time.

I'd probably agree society was built by (and for) men once people banded together. It shows. That's why there's a feminist movement in the first place. Where I stop agreeing is that feminism comes out of comfort and entitlement. I do think there's an aspect to that (looking at a lot of contemporary feminists who bitch about "microaggressions" in one breath while defending Islam in the next), but if you're going to say that all feminism comes from "comfort" that's severely misguided. We're talking about a movement that has roots in getting women a say in politics, to get educated and become productive members of society, getting freedom to marry when and who they want, and to not have their sexuality demonised. That's a noble cause.
