Cyberbullies and women who hunt

Interesting article about how society puts women in certain boxes. And when a woman steps outside that box people take it upon themselves to put women back in their place.

This is especially true with hunting.

http://www.freep.com/article/201312.../Outdoors-Cyberbullies-preying-women-who-hunt

Barry Goldstein, nationally recognized domestic violence author and speaker, offers some insight: “Lots of the time gender bias can be unconscious. It’s based on stereotypes, on a long history of men and women in certain roles. It’s important to remember when you talk about aggressive or physically powerful behavior (such as hunting) it’s something society tolerates in men far more than women.

“For example, when a woman murders her partner, her sentence is an average of 70% longer than if a man had killed a woman. When women don’t behave the way society wants them to, some people develop a sense of entitlement to be punitive.”

Even though we have made progress in womens rights, we still have a long way to go.

Womens rights groups sue for equal pay and promotions for women, but what about hunting? Where are the womens rights groups when it comes to hunting?

I have no idea what to make of the OP, and the article he linked is unreadable.

From the page:

These pictures always creeped me the fuck out.
 
Not sure how wishing death upon someone is putting them back in their place. Had they said things like "go make me some sammiches" or "stop hunting and get back in the kitchen" then maybe they are trying to put them in "a place". These bullies are just idiots and animals.

While it may unnerve a lot of people to see those images, it is no different than selling timber, oil, gold, silver,,,,, or any other natural resource. Would you rather companies come in and strip the land for its minerals through strip mining, or sale a few lions?

African hunters pay tens of thousands of dollars to kill a lion, buffalo, elephant,, or any other large wildlife.

The meat is donated to local communities, and the money goes to the local economy.

What should we do, donate food and money to keep those people alive, or send a few rich hunters over there?

Rich white men have been hunting in Africa for hundreds of years. But when a woman does it there is outrage?

Leonardo DiCaprio sends his kids to a private school and it's an outrage to conservatives...

Celebrities live public lives and so their actions are used in the common debate. There's also little shrift given to facewhores.

I have a lot of trouble believing that.

Sale or sell? Seriously, is English your third or fourth language? Your threads are not remotely amusing, thought provoking or even borderline intelligent.

If it's true it doesn't by itself suggest that they were sentenced longer just because they're women.

And I see nothing in this article that shows evidence of a double standard towards male vs female hunters, just the total presumption that one's there.

Then explain why women catch so much lack for posing with animals.

I never see anyone bashing Ernest Hemingway or Teddy Roosevelt for their hunting exploits. Even men in modern times, nobody says anything about them.

But a woman poses with a lion, or other animal, and she gets death threats.

I think both Hemingway and Roosevelt were assholes for their 'big game' hunting endeavors, especially Hemingway glorification of bullfighting in "Death in the Afternoon"
Pretty much anyone who goes on these 'safaris' to hunt an elephant, lion, etc are total wastes of flesh whether they have a penis, a vagina or both. I tend to wish for a misfire and the prey to pounce on the 'hunter'
Fucking worthless cowards, every single one of them, male and female equally.

Do you feel the same way about loggers who cut trees down?

Poor defenseless trees can not protect themselves from the chainsaw.

I don't know, I guess if someone posted a picture of Ernest Hemingway or Teddy Roosevelt on facebook it'd look silly to talk about how they deserve to die. Although you'd probably still see people complaining about it and perhaps the person who posted it. It could be that things have changed a little in the past 100 years, both in the sensibilities of certain groups and in the ability to easily and anonymously harass people through something like the internet.

You say in modern times no one says anything bad about men who hunt lions but you seriously have no idea. Go find some actual examples of men posing with lions and posting them on Facebook, particularly men who are highly visible through their web shows and reputation as hunters, and ask them if they get flamed. Do an actual study with a statistically significant sampling and proper methodology. This talk about what you never see isn't worth anything.

Have you ever seen a forest clearcut?

Have you ever seen an entire ecosystem destroyed in a matter of days?
