How often were big burly cavemen actually trying to kill them? Didn't they have more important things to do, like hunt mammoths, brewing 0.5% alcohol beer and working on their textile patterns? I've heard the day-to-day brutality of cavemen is overplayed. lets be real here I don't think women needed to do much convincing to get other tribes to capture them instead of hitting them over the head with a rock, if anything in half these conflicts capturing females would have been a goal. It'd be like saying bails of hay, cattle, or golden treasures need to be manipulative when in reality they just need to make it clear what they are so no mistakes are made and they're damaged on accident.
