The idea that prostitution is the oldest profession is stupid when clearly the oldest profession is berry picker.

Gathering and scavenging was a daily activity for most early women. It still is in many parts of the world. Gathering vegetables, roots, fruit, bugs was a vital part of getting the intake of calories groups needed each day. Most of this labor was done by women, most food provided on a daily basis was provided by women's labor.

I never understood where that stupid saying "Prostitutions is the oldest profession" came from. It sounds like a sanitized way of saying RAPE IS THE OLDEST CRIME! Even that's not true!! Oldest crime? Probably berry thief!
