Adapting some early African aspects

We all come from Africa. It was an interesting man talking about it on the radio today. He meant that humans had always been cooperating to survive, therefor socialicing was important. Nobody would be left alone, except to die.

Now I'm thinking, if I had been bord in early Africa, I would have liked to go hunting with the guys. Isn't that what I've been trying to do, more or less? Climbed trees and challenge guys in sports (not fotball). I'll never forget at school when I won a game of badminton, and the guy who lost asked me if he could tell the other guys that he had won. Wouldn't I have learnt back then that guys hate to compete with girls and if the do they expect to win?

Now I'm thrown out of the tribe. I was the only woman in my work group, when I was fired. I was told specifically, that I wasn't like the others. I'm not saying that I was fired because I am a woman, since there were female managers there, no, I assume the reason must have been that I wasn't running fast enough. Anything else would have been absurd. But it is also clear that some guys hated to be challenged by me. Especially a few ones that thought they were some kind of tribe leaders, they got nuts, when I questioned what they said, ie their authority.

So what am I going to do now? Go back to the women, or continue to challenge guys and risk loosing again?
