And I thought it was just because I like venison.
The men I know who hunt are gentlemen. Are these some of MODO's friends or just lesbians? And NO, you can't make this stuff up.
Oops. I didn't even read all of your title.
I must get Rush on a one hour delay.
Are you hunting beaver or are you hunting beaver?
LOL!!!!
Well said. Your entire anecdote was the best post of the day.
Clifton Merrit, publisher of Animal People newspaper, believes this also. I once had a long discussion with him where he told me his research proved all the people who hunted as children become killers as adults.
When I questioned his research he told me I wasn't really a journalist, then he slammed the phone in my ear. He, of course, calls himself a journalist.
bttt
The hunting camp is also a male bonding thing. They eat well, drink well, and hunt well, all together. They don't strip naked and beat tom-toms to find their inner male. They don't need to find it, they never lost it to begin with.
Thanks for the Kind words.
Just heard it. Just the usual we are men we are evil crappola.
Well, that and the fact that hunting is good for finding stuff to eat.
The furor and public outrage surrounding numerous non-fictional outdoors entertainment shows in which female animals are privileged over males for survival in the context of hunting and parallel discourses among hunters about preferences for shooting males inspired this paper. Arguing that distressing representations of hunting as a sexually charged activity are resilient popular culture images, this paper examines the theoretical framework that links hunting with dominant culture gynocratic privileges and the overwhelming empirical evidence of such linkages in the hunting discourse of all hutning related newsstand periodicals. Contemporary feminist theory often connects hunting with sex and women with animals. In the quaint parlance of the observed subjects this is "B.S." This paper details clear evidence of the juxtaposition of hunting and images of dead male animals, correlations to the privileging of female animals, and the psychological connection between hunters and their mothers, showing hunting to be a manifestation of oedipal complexes, a displaced trans-spieces violence transferred from abusive fathers to innocent animals, in the quaint parlance of the observed subjects "critters." This is evindenced in the photographs, narratives, and advertisements of almost all hunting magazines ever known. Particularly prominent in the magazines’ hunting discourses are disproportionate numbers of photos of dead male animals, male human inter-conversations about "points" (belying male functional insecurities), and gynocratic narratives about "good stewardship" with "Mother Earth". This paper concludes that moral outrage at the degradation of men and preference of women, especially when represented with children/fawns/cubs, might be targeted best in the courts on equal rights grounds.
After seeing what the researchers look like I tend to agree that animal lovers might well be attracted to them when hunting season ends.
By the way, doing my duty as my tagline indicates I just looked thru the DUmmie postings and so no mention at all of this story. Usually they are all over anything Rush reports on. Love how they try to avoid anything that automatically makes them look like fools. But then again, they always seem to comment on things and end up looking foolish anyway. There is time, it may turn up yet
Mixing Sigmond Freud and crack cocaine.
I wonder what would happen to a male professor's tenure if his study claiming compusive shopping was linked to a woman being more bitchy.
You can't make up for the time Rush wastes discussing sex, mistresses, etc. UGH
With *very* few exceptions, all of the hunters that I know are conservative, well-adjusted people that are far more environmentally in-tune than any enviro-wacko that I've met.
Furthermore, the decision to carry and fire a weapon is a tremendous responsibility. I think that these authors would not be up to the task, and are projecting their own inadequacies onto those that they dislike.
