Sometimes my minor in Anthropology comes in handy. Hunter-gatherer 
societies tend to be more egalitarian, cooperative, and have less female 
gender devaluation than agriculture based societies. There was one 
famous anthropology film called The Giraffe Hunt, if I am remembering 
correctly. One of the men in the hunting party was very motivated to get 
meat to bring home to his pregnant wife for her welfare and that of the 
growing baby. Though there were usually complex ways of dividing the 
hunt, the elderly, women and children were well provided for.
