    Native women are as tough as most men. We were scared of my mom but she was also the most loving person you would ever meet. She could hunt, fish, trap and carry things as much as any man … watching her skin, hide and butcher large animals and you’d swear she had arms of Popeye. Both my sisters are the same and if you ever get caught in a fight with them, they’d beat the hell out of you as much as any man.

      I read an article a while back that suggested that studies of women in hunter-gatherer and early agricultural societies often had upper-arm strength superior to modern competitive rowers.

      And I’m pretty sure a modern competitive rower could kick my ass. XD
