Playing at being primitive

I enjoy stories of "primitive" tribes, but unlike many of the Westerners (often British) doing the reports I see things as a woman.

Yes, you are doing nicely playing macho and hunting, but if you were a woman and had a baby every 18 months, with the chronic backache and nausea, and still had to fetch wood for cooking and fetch water and dig in your garden, you just might prefer living in a town with running water, TV, and birthcontrol pills.

But that's just me.
