I remember it started really with the introduction of the plow and similar tools, which women weren't strong enough to handle or much less efficient at handling. Not sure how much that theory was supported and all though. Just something I remember reading once.

Nah.

[Moros]

Nah.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Well, if your source is Not sure how much that theory was supported and all though. Just something I remember reading once. <- what more did you expect? Me to do your homework for you?

EDIT: Granted, I didn't source either. However, my reference was and is school and main thinking. Generally the one opposing what is taught in schools and main thinking is the one who have to source.

Or even easier comprehensible: If you fight against popular belief you must make a valid point or source real well :)

You mean this?

Abstract: This paper seeks to better understand the historical origins
of current differences in norms and beliefs about the appropriate
role of women in society. We test the hypothesis that traditional
agricultural practices influenced the historical gender division of
labor and the evolution and persistence of gender norms. We find
that, consistent with existing hypotheses, the descendants of societies
that traditionally practiced plough agriculture, today have lower
rates of female participation in the workplace, in politics, and in
entrepreneurial activities, as well as a greater prevalence of attitudes
favoring gender inequality. We identify the causal impact of traditional
plough use by exploiting variation in the historical geo-climatic
suitability of the environment for growing crops that differentially
benefited from the adoption of the plough. Our IV estimates, based on
this variation, support the findings from OLS. To isolate the importance
of cultural transmission as a mechanism, we examine female labor
force participation of second-generation immigrants living within the
US.

In other news, some kindergartners actually did sing "God Bless the USA" outside the school.



“You Republicans come go to a Republican area and do that, we don’t do that here,” one of the several hecklers yelled out early on. “This is ridiculous, this is sad. This is so crazy. This is sad.”

“Excuse me sir, can you let the kids sing please?” Mr. Turner’s staffer interjected.

“No!” came the bolted response. “The kids don’t even know what they’re singing! They got something you tell them to say! It’s ridiculous! It’s sad, sad, sad. Y’all are going to burn in hell! You all burn in hell! Shame on you! Shame on you!”

That is... Shocking...

Poor kids, being used as chess pawns... They have no idea of what they are singing, they even need hastily handed out notes...

Then right wing media try to make it easier for the kids and have them chant "USA" like the question was pro or against USA...

OMG... That for me as a teacher is a TOTAL disgrace. Without saying anything about the debate, this if anything is children abuse.

There was entiely too much going on in theat vidoe. And then an old dude with a harmonica showed up. It was too much too handle.

What was up with the cmapaign sign? It looks like some candidate was using the kids of supporters to sing, and people took issue with that because the news never showed up for other positive things the opponents did for the school. You had a guy yelling at the kids "you're all going to hell" You had a little black girl yelling at an old black man to "go away"

I confuse

Look at the black girl middle left... Her eyes running around thinking "what is happening"

Look at the bottom left girl, trying to hide behind the sheet she has been handed...

My... heart goes out to the kids. They had no idea what was going on.

Again, abuse of children, if anything.
