See now you are intentionally confusing things, I never claimed to be an archeologist...I did make an assumption that if you were an archeologist that you would be publishing papers on the subject..I thought that was one of the things your profession did..I apologize if that assumption was wrong, I was simply expressing an interest in what you personally were doing and not trying to knock you or irritate. Unix System Admins do publish on occasion but most never do. (Im a Unix System Admin) So I could send you several reams of documention I have written for Inter Processor Connetion Services but it would be pretty boring and have nothing to do with gender or its historical relevance.
I am knowledgable about men and women and the roles they have played throughout history from simple reading of our history books, One of the things I do very very well is read and retain, not detailed memories of what I read but memories of the over-riding concepts and ideas. I will admit most were written by men and were probably slanted to favor mens roles...however I have to believe that in general they are a little accurate. I mean it might have been Madame Francis Drake and not Sir Francis Drake...but somehow I dont think so.
But seriously I was not trying to insult you, but merely request material written by someone who has vastly different views than I.
None of these posts by me have had any anger or resentment in them, and have been ment dispassionatley and unemmotionally.
I was not insulted, nor was I being passionate or emotional, which may come as a disappointment to you. I think you have read far more into my posts than I have actually said, perhaps you should go back and re-read them before jumping to any conclusions about my beliefs or opinions. I have voiced only one opinion here, and that is about foraging vs. hunting in pre-agricultural society which is my current research project. Please leave your preconceptions of me at the door.
