I like “old school”. ;o)

Old school is decent and caring. Plus, old school is the right order in this world.

Have you heard that men and women are different? lol

Hunters and gatherers vs nurturers...it’s the way things are meant to be.

However, that doesn’t mean that women can’t do many things that men can do, and still be nurturers. It doesn’t mean that men can’t do many things women do, and still be hunters and gatherers.

It means that you don’t put women in the midst of a bunch of Muslim men, who believe women to be chattel.

That’s just stupid.

I personally wouldn’t let some men I know nurse a sick person, either. lol

I noticed that a looong time ago. (8^D)

Agreed, and I have taught a number of my granddaughters to shoot and track game (and whatever else they need to). Part of real freedom lies in the lack of dependence on others to do the things you can, and being as capable as possible. It also serves as a guard against them getting saddled with a fellow who can't tie his own shoes.

I agree with that as well. Someone either underestimated the potential in the situation or sent someone in looking for another story. That goes beyond simply stupid.
