I've met two female instructors at school, one who loves turkey hunting, the other an NRA self-defense instructor. These two are so down to earth, alert, and aware, that they are just a joy to be around. It would be a safe bet that the only men they don't like are useless, irresponsible bums.
American Indians shout be OUTRAGED at this charicterization of their culture....
Is that a trick question?
Michigan taxpayers, federal taxpayers and student's parents.
Animal People Magazine editor Clifton Melton (something like that) and I had a conversation about this several years ago.
He claims to be an ex-bigtime journalist, and told me his research PROVES hunting turns people into killers. I explained back to him the fact I know lots of hunters, and never knew one single one that had ever killed a person.
He told me, basically, I must not be a journalist, then hung the phone up on me.
I don't endorse his views, he is an AR activist. But check out his web site, he caught my attention when he started attacking the HSUS, PETA and other AR organizations, because they don't do anything for animals, just raise lots of money.
Once a year he publishes a breakdown of all the AR organizations, and how they spend their money. He has put a spotlight on these organizations.
So that's where the phrase "Beaver Hunt" came from....
So if I follow this logic from a pro evolution point of view I am forced to assume that cavemen were trying to F--- when they went hunting. How do we reconcile that with the hunter gatherer drive which is a part of the evolutionary process.
The scientific conclusion to this conundrum is quite clear, of course.
Female hunters, in our quest for destroying the male species, enjoy the act of deer hunting primarily for the erotic pleasure it gives us in stalking, maiming, and ultimately, killing the reprehensible and egocentric Male.
And what better method is there to accomplish this noble goal -- the total annihilation of the evil male species from the planet -- than to utilize the male's own dastardly weapon, his beloved phallic-symbol rifle?
My own faux-phallic symbol weapon-of-choice for this sadistic yearly ritual of stalking "The Trophy Buck" is, of course, my 12-gauge shotgun loaded with massive chunks of lead. Why do you think we call it "Buckshot?"
For that matter, why do you think my favorite gun is called a "Savage?"

Fishing is basically hunting critters who live in the water. Since millions of women love to fish, I guess they are just substituting their love for killing men by killing fish. What great logic is exhibited by the professors. (/sarcasm)
No, but I bet they drive Subarus or Volvos and buy flannel shirts.
Please see my analysis at 68. (A numerical symbol, by the way, that is one less than "69," another one of those evil symbols and representations of sexualized imagery that should be totally extinguished from the planet. :)
A long time ago I killed a bird with a .22 at 150 yards then saw it's mate fly off. I feel so bad about that to this day I can no longer can stomach hunting defenseless animals.
Possibly robotic prey could be invented to test our battlefield skills. It would prepare our future soldiers for fighting robots in the next big war.
PING
I'm just amazed the authors of this study didn't see it themselves.
Am I missing some stereotype here about flannel shirts? I wear them all the time, in fact, I have one on right now.
You also strap-on that other phallic symbol - the gitter.
I'm watching my six.
Oops! I think I may have hit on the core of this theory ...
Hunting is so different from hairdressing!
A "gitter." What's a "gitter?" Is that similar to a garter? Because dictionary.com doesn't tell me what a "gitter" is, and I'm scared to put the words "gitter" and "strap-on" into Google at the same time. lol!
Her CV makes interesting reading.
