Siberian Eskimos weigh in on gender differences

I was watching Russia Today on Monday. During the program they always show a documentary. This week the documentary was about the Native peoples of Russia. The documentary was about the Siberain native ivory carvers. The most famous living carver, Ivan Seigutegin, set up a school many years ago to train and encourage walrus carving by native peoples. He split the male and females into 2 groups. The men are in charge of actual carving and the women are the etchers. He says that womens' brains are different and they have not the strength for carving. I did not see one single feminist Eskimo having a hissy fit about it. They were just happily etching away and gathering blueberries for the stains. Harvard University professors take note.
