Exposing the Big Game 
Thank you, yet again, Ricky Gervais for hitting the nail on the head! What is it with all these recent examples of pathetic women trying to be “men” by killing wild animals? The one thing that has always, in my mind, made women superior to men is their capacity for tenderness, charity, self-sacrifice, and willingness to mother or nurse those in need of aid. The woman sport hunter apparently trying to prove her toughness and masculinity by murdering animals is nothing more than a grotesque caricature of lowest-life males, only lacking the testes. The fear of being labelled misogynistic in our oh-so-politically-correct times prevents many from speaking the obvious, so let me be the first: women sport hunters are not only morally depraved but appear totally ABSURD trying to ape their male counterparts!
Thank you Geoff; Great comment!
Thank you! Equality does not equal imitating the behavior of men, IMO.
And here’s another one. Et tu, NYT? Using so-called safer for the environmenty bullets doesn’t make it okay, IMO. And I’m not sure just how widespread the use of non-lead bullets is. But there’s quite a lot of photos devoted to this person:
It would be one thing if we still had to hunt for food like our forebears, but today, we do not.
People hunt today because they want and like to, not because they need to. Not a good enough reason to steal another living thing’s life, to me. 😦
So hunting is always a choice today, not a necessity. Millions of domesticated animals are slaughtered daily in order to feed humans, how indifferent is it to go out and kill wild animals?
And the saving money and poverty excuse is overstated I think. How do they afford guns, ammunition (non-lead bullets are more expensive) and hunting permits?
It’s all an excuse for evolving.
