We have advanced a little from the Stone Age
Well most of us anyway. There is still at least one person that prefers to still think like a cave man and do a lot of chest pounding.

I've brought my wife in the bush on several hunts. She tires out long before I do, & usually wants to leave. On a recent hunt, I stalked rabbits in snowshoes, while she stayed back and built a snowman! On rainy morning hunts, she chooses to stay in bed w the dog while I get poured on in the treestand. When I bait the bear sites, she'll stay in the truck. My wife has shot my bow and my guns, loves wild game meat, & loves the hunting experience. She's not quite yet a hunter, but tries her best. I for one don't mind women hunting, & Ill make a real hunter out of my wife soon enough!

Gender politics are harmful to women. If you re-read the only woman on the forum who posted, she said she doesn't hunt because it's "empowering" - my point, and the female interviewee did a bad job representing women. She hunts, as I said, because she enjoys it - my point again. She agrees with my original points, but you insist on dismissing my point of view.

What you see as "chest beating" is in line with what is happening in the real world as presented by at least two other forum members.

I'm in support of women doing whatever the hell they want, while you are stuck in the "modern age" of group-think - that women should hunt to empower themselves -- because, well, who knows. Not one person has actually said WHY women should hunt. Because, as I said, women shouldn't be made to feel like they SHOULD hunt. STOP MAKING WOMEN FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD BE DOING THIS OR THAT -- it's ridiculous.

If a few women do it, it's because they enjoy it, but that does not negate the generalization that women don't like to hunt. If you can't make a generalization, you can't have a discussion.

If you encourage women to go out and kill things to make them sad, you're stupid. Because that's the end result of hunting and killing. I wouldn't encourage a women to go to war, just like I wouldn't encourage her to hunt. She usually takes better to fishing or bird hunting, they aren't furry.
