    Not so new at all!

    Women in Britain foxhunted for centuries (first "Mistress of Fox Hounds" in the late 1700s), and for centuries before that they hunted deer and other beasties.

    One of the earliest manuals on hunting was written by a woman in 1480, The Boke of St Albans.

    So men focus on the biggest rack and women focus on the meat.

    Sounds about right.

    Yay wildlife management.

    The more people who I can get deer meat from the better.

    @brokenscope:
    Also, I'm glad I went hunting with my Aunt the first time.

    My uncle would have made me do that stupid blood face painting thing.

    Yes, my family does do that.

    This makes me happy because I know how to sail a boat and I've been known to kill my dinner from time to time. Like fishing, hunting can be a zen thing. Then it gets really gory, but the eating's pretty good. I feel like anyone who eats meat ought to go do their own dirty work once in a while. The animals we eat don't get enough credit.

    Also women are steathy. I've often wondered how hunting got to be such a male-dominated sport in the first place given the long-standing and ubiquitous homages to Diana/Artemis, goddess of the hunt.

    Cue the people cheering the women hunters for being all sexy and badass, thereby continuing the view that women doing men's activities is cool, but women doing women's activities is lame.

    And when mom wonders why her daughter doesn't talk to her any more when she gets older, she can reread the article.

    I hope she puts it somewhere useful, like the fridge.

    "the mother doesn't want her daughter to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe alone" - frasing it like this seems mighty unfair to me. IMO, consciously leaving a 13-year-old to fend for themselves is neglect under any circumstances, no matter how awesome the particular child's skillset may be. we should be happy one of her parents is showing a bit of common sense and responsibility, putting her safety before some pointless record attempt.

    @squeaky yet unclean: I agree. I wouldn't let my kid do it either. Certainly not my 13 yr old and not even my 17 yr old (if I had kids). Its really dangerous. If they want to do it they can wait until they're 18 but i wouldn't sign off on it.

    @squeaky yet unclean: Agreed. Plus, if my kid was an awesome sailor and wanted to sail around the globe, I'd be all, "OMG TAKE ME!" No record setting here, thank you very much, just me supporting my child's interests through blatantly taking advantage of them.

    ALSO! PS. I feel like any excuse I will ever come up with for not being able to do something challenging in life is rendered moot by knowledge of this woman who said "Fuck off" to all the reasons she couldn't do what she wanted.
