The newest hypothesis about the Neanderthals suggests that they died out because the women and men hunted together. There was no division of labor, and so when no game could be found, no one ate. Early humans had some division of labor, and had a more diverse food stock.

Only in the Wall Street Journal could someone take this little nugget and turn it into an anti-feminist rant. Naomi Schaefer Riley writes:

...Betty Friedan is probably turning over in her own gravesite right now, yearning to assure us that this finding has no bearing on modern society. And perhaps it doesn't. Just because a prehistoric version of feminism killed off the Neanderthals doesn't mean that we face the same fate...

She goes on to discuss the typical WSJ control issues concerning women--promiscuity (Paris Hilton is invoked, as usual); Bratz dolls; and of course, the feminists' holy grail, parenting without fathers. The horror, the horror!
