I myself took a few anthropology courses (I LOVE it).

I found it most fascinating that many men point to the "hunters and gatherers" as a type of insult - women stayed behind to collect food, while men when out to hunt for it - I guess they view women as the "weaker" sex in this way. The problem with this attitude is that in hunt and gather societies, women had control of the economy because they controlled the resources. While men would leave and hunt, and only come back with food 10 or 20% of the time, women's work with gathering nearly always ended up fruitful.

It also really opened my eyes to ethnocentrism.

I agree with your comments on the AMA, woman in medicine, etc etc. I also believe men taking a power role in medicine has led to "Westernized birth." Medications, C-sections, and women overall having less birth choices, or rarely any education on the choices they have open to them. Granted, there have been male doctors that have tried to reverse the curse (Dr. Bradley of the "Bradley Method"), for one. Just an opinion.

Oh yeah, ergot.

Well, usually when I see someone batshit crazy walking around on the street, then I just kind of assume that they were probably abused really bad at a very young age.

Though it's not hard to imagine how something similar to LSD in the bread could contribute to the whole situation.

No, but I've always wanted to drop acid and go to the zoo. I hear the one in Cleveland is fantastic.

Women have lost the ability to raise their children. I know there are still some women who stay home with their children but, there are more who don't stay home with them.

TVs,computers, video games and government schools fill the minds of our young ones while their mom's go out to work.
I think much of the violence in schools is about children who are being put on psyc mess who's moms are on antidepression who go to work in some boring job listed of solving problems women today are treading towards ignoring their problems and their children real needs.

Having children when older may seem like a good idea for career minded and learn it is harder on the body

Women who want to have children should really limit their work outside the home when children are young. They need their mothers so much. Children are who they will be for the rest of their lives by the time the are 4 years old.
