The Berries And The Beast

Some Professor Daniel Kruger of the University of Michigan thinks to have found the reason why men and women aren’t that thrilled to shop together. The source of this rather stubborn and tensed discomfort would be in the difference of tasks that go back as early as the Stone Age. The reason that women are so fussy to make a pick, go back and forth once more to be really sure to have the right outfit, is that they were the ones to gather foods all day long. Have eyes for the right shape, colour and smell. A mistake could be fatal, or could set back table manners for another generation. The think and test approach. While at the other hand, men already made up their minds what kind of animal to look for on a particular day, find it, kill it, and come home as soon as possible with that dinner. Being too late could mean the meat got inedible. The hit and run approach. And hit and run was what they were able to, because their offspring was with the mothers. The whole bunch of hunters and gatherers together would make the dinner escape and the berries deadly. Mr. Kruger thinks it might help both sexes to know this background. I believe it won’t make much difference. Image by Photobucket/floy_dontask
