-A puzzle: every human culture has gender roles and a substantial amount of division of labor by sex. From _within_ a particular culture, it's tempting to "essentialize" these differences, to think that certain kinds of tasks inherently belong in the separate spheres of women or men, as ordained by the local religion's gods (or perhaps "evolution" if your local religion is pop-evopsych rather than real-evopsych). But anthropologists know that there's huge cross-cultural variation as to the details of what tasks are assigned to which sex. There are some regularities: things like big-game hunting and metalworking are always male tasks, and things like spinning, dairying, and primary child care are "women's work." But there are also a lot of differences: the task of making ropes or pottery is gendered _within_ a culture, but different cultures end up making different assignments.
+In this blog post, I'm going to summarize what I learned from _Origins of Unfairness_ in my own words, but if you want to be a serious intellectual who actually reads grown-up books rather than relying on some pseudonymous _nobody's_ blog summary, you should [go buy the source material](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V5Q6R62/)!
