Most societies and cultures knew not to risk the women because they give birth, you lose half your men, you still survive. Half your women and you suffer massive population decreases.
It's also why women were more in homemaking roles, because they couldn't risk being in danger, they were put to improve the camp/home. Thanks to automation taking care of those roles, they now need to imply they had more of a presence in men's roles than they did.
Not even just that.
We are physically inferior. I said it. And that is just ignoring the fact we are in a sub-optimal state compared to ourselves regularly.
Like you need zero thought about procreation and how it works (Which... I'm not sure cavemen really understood), yet you would notice that CERTAIN members of your tribe are a fucking mess quite a lot.
For example the pelvis of women allows them to give birth to babies with larger skulls (which is great for babies) but at the sacrifice of leg strength, due to leverage.
Women (in general) have a higher percentage of body fat to lean muscle; This allows them to have the energy reserves to (more often) carry a healthy baby to term with an uncertain food supply.
Women are phytologically different, in ways that make them much more likely to love and care for children and they needy; which optimizes them to raise an incredibly demanding baby to independence.
Men are fantastically motivated to make women happy. Men went to the moon basically to impress ladies and have children. Men run down antelope in their bare feet because someone told them it impresses chicks.
Were there women who were hunters: Yes
Were they an incredibly small minority: HELL YES
