I noticed that a looong time ago. (8^D)
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.
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.
It means that you don’t put women in the midst of a bunch of Muslim men, who believe women to be chattel.
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.
“Agreed, and I have taught a number of my granddaughters to shoot and track game (and whatever else they need to).”
What a great grandpop you are! My grands have been shooting since before they were six years old, one of them since three. Your granddaughters have a leg up on them, though, because mine don’t track. But, when there’s a job that needs doin’...mine do it good. ;o)
“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.”
You are absolutely right! No one should have to rely on anyone else for their well being.
“That goes beyond simply stupid.”
It’s not just simply stupid...it’s PC, which IMHO is the ultimate stupidity.
