The men are exempt from these vulgar employments and are reserved for war, hunting, sports, and devout observances.

A very nice discrimination is ordinarily shown in this matter.
This division of labour coincides with the distinction between the working and the leisure class as it appears in the higher barbarian culture.

As the diversification and specialisation of employments proceed, the line of demarcation so drawn comes to divide the industrial from the non-industrial employments.

The man's occupation as it stands at the earlier barbarian stage is not the original out of which any appreciable portion of later industry has developed.

In the later development it survives only in employments that are not classed as industrial,--war, politics, sports, learning, and the priestly office.
The only notable exceptions are a portion of the fishery industry and certain slight employments that are doubtfully to be classed as industry; such as the manufacture of arms, toys, and sporting goods.
Virtually the whole range of industrial employments is an outgrowth of what is classed as woman's work in the primitive barbarian community.
The work of the men in the lower barbarian culture is no less indispensable to the life of the group than the work done by the women.
It may even be that the men's work contributes as much to the food supply and the other necessary consumption of the group.
