And women.

A building is just a block of rocks fitted together without a reason to be there. Like commerce, conducted predominantly by women in ancient times until men seized control of money.

Also, until you have excess food stores to give you the time to build, you’re going to be too busy trying not to starve to swing that hammer. Excesses that were provided by women. It was most likely women who began cultivating foods as they were the gatherers. Women developed the means of food storage and preservation.

So if you want to praise men for building things, fine go ahead. But you give credit where credit is due. They never could have without the support, work, and innovation of women.
