In a way the men were also gatherers: it's far easier to gather the meat from a carcass some real predator has already killed instead of trying to kill it yourself. Not that they always gathered the meat for the women. It tends to be heavy. Better just eat it here when it's fresh...
[And yeah, I saw the tongue in your cheek. I just have an issue with those romantic paintings of men trying to kill a mammoth with spears, but never seeing a picture of men kneeling around a half eaten lion's prey.]
