    1. That's right, they said. What you are is a woman. Possibly nothuman at all, certainly defective. Now be quiet while we go ontelling the Story of the Ascent of Man the Hero

      This segment is very telling as it immediately tries to put women in a place of uselessness. It sounds very contradictory as they say women take care of the home by cooking the meat the men find and caring for the children. It proves further that even now, men put value in money itself rather than what they can do with that money.

    2. It wasn 'tthe meat that made the difference. It was the story

      This is an interesting sentence because one would think that the meat is the most important part due to it being a means for survival. But men tend to want to be praised for their bravery, so they can come up with elaborate stories to enhance their image. This can still be seen today where men can share their stories and be believed whereas women are still having to push their narrative, but if they push too much they are seen as looking for attention and are not taken as seriously.

    3. The average pre-historic person could make a nice living in about a fifteen-hourwork week.

      This is such an interesting concept as compared to now. Because now, we have to work at least 40 hours a week in order to make a decent living and that usually consists of a two income household. Also another big difference is that men were the soul providers. If we tried to live that way now, it would be pretty much impossible to survive. So that is an intersting difference to note.
