Maximus BS Jenny, or at least you have
not convinced me, yet..!
1. The women do the gathering (food source)
2. The women do the food prep (food source)
3. The women do the cooking (food source)
4. The women feed the children (food source)
5. The women server the food - men and guests (food source)
6. The women clean and wash up (food source)
7. The women feed the animals (food source)
8. The women are often 'treated' in exchange for sex
(food source)

Compared to the one bowl of steamed rice (maybe) per day the
average field hand gets in a subsistence existence, I would
say the women certainly get the better end of the deal.
So why are they thin?
