Man carves out half a pumpkin with eyeholes and puts it on his head to amuse the tribe after dinner. Archaelogist 65000 years later: here we see a fossilzed gourd used by the males as a helmet in battle.

Kidding aside , our view has been tainted by the current patriarcal times. Century ago and women could not vote, own property, some still need husbands permission for things in certain countries. Many assume it was always like that but 450 BC, Celtic Woman owned half their property with husband, on his death she got her half and his could be willed to her or anyone else. The Romans invading Wales were dumbfounded to be fighting women in battle. The narrative that only men owned things or did the "hard" stuff is bullshit
