"But they really aren't."
Ok. So why aren't they disempowered in the situation described in the article?
"She mentions women foraging for tubers as a contrast"
What she really said was: "women who contribute to the group or family’s well-being are empowered relative to those in societies where women do not".
"And they don't get to be "empowered" somehow in the bargain."
So again, why don't they get to be empowered (relative to similar societies)?
