Wow that's quite a statement. So what narrowly defined role for women would you approve of?
Spend some time on an Iowa farm sometime. Or many other places where women do “icky” things because they like (and want) doing those things.
Haha!
Last time I called my mom, she had been out working the backhoe somewhere on their 57 acres of Indiana farmland. She and I have both driven a tractor (I drove one before I drove a car, LOL), and done more than our share of mucking out stalls, chasing cattle and other livestock, and stringing up fenceline. Granted, I haven’t done it in years, but I’ve done it!
After chasing cows through mud in 90+ degree heat in August after they’ve broken the fence again, I had no issue with them going to slaughter, no matter how cute they were as calves ;)
