Horizon felt forced indeed.

During pre-history females usually collected fruit, vegetables, etc. while the men hunted.

Horizon isn't set in pre-history. It's set in post-history, and to me it doesn't seem likely that societal norms like that would move backwards just because we lose our technology.

Even if it was, somehow set in pre-history. The assumption that pre-historic woman didn't hunt is simply false. Newer scientific evidence not only suggests that they did hunt along with the males but also made a lot of the infamous cave drawings.

You have to always be aware of the bias past researchers themselves held against or for various things, wich tainted the outcome of their research. Theres concrete evidence for example that researchers looking into animal sexuality deliberately left out homosexual encounters, because they didn't thought them relevant to their research.

A lot of the research we still cite today was conducted in times when it either was proposterous to suggest females would hunt or during times of extreme tensions between the genders. research should always be objective, it's sadly not.
