    So there are tribes with both dynamics, maybe more one than the other?. We can also look at things like, say, competitive records between “sexes” (it’s a spectrum, so the binary divide is weird to begin with, but I digress). Men run on average like 30 seconds faster on the mile than women in societies with clear disadvantages to women’s training.

    Is this actually significant enough to exclude women? I fail to see how it could be for a role that requires a multitude of skills.

    Society’s seem to have stratified based on sex to “protect” women, and maybe a lot of women even prefer it. The issue is when we use some societal preferences to override the individual and prescribe roles before the individual can even develop their own preference (men and enbies included).

    What I’m seeing are some societies seem to have figured that out well enough, others are more oppressive.

      I am concerned only with the factuality of the data presented and have zero interest in cultural implications and any inferences that may be drawn from them.
