Think about it.

Who would have the most time on their hands to do cave painting (decoration)?

Who would have the time to find ochre and charcoal and other color paints and make brushes?

Unless they were done by gay cave men interior decorators, the cave women would have been the only ones to do this.

I cannot believe that cave men sat around deciding what color to use on the next rock wall.....................

They’d have time during the winter months, perhaps? Probably not. Hunting and hunting related activities would take a lot of time, even more so in winter months.

Actually, in these societies the women have more work, grinding grains, preparing acorns, curing and preparing skins, cooking, making carrying and storage containers, caring for children. The men hunt, bring home something big, sit around flaking arrows and telling war stories. Maybe they were gay artists. Some American tribes had “berdach” (sp?), men of two natures that were often more artistic or spiritual.
