I don't know what's funnier, the article about a woman "who can disembowel an animal and avoid chipping a fingernail", wears the bone of a racoon's penis on a necklace (for "mojo") and smears the blood of a kill on new hunter's faces, or the comments, like the gem from "Richard" who starts off "Hunting is barbaric and unquestionably constitutes animal cruelty".

Just another chapter in the Book of White Women which is a sacred text within the new Bible being written by the NY Times.

There is a strong religious conviction in these articles that what White Women do and say is of interest as a matter of course because they do and say it; in the same way that you don't question the interest of what God chooses to do. It's something I'm continually fascinated by.

Here's the new deity, for better or worse:

White women?

No, not just white women in general.

The NY Times is describing women from their own social set. The financial elites of New York.

Look at the two women profiled:

Georgia Pellegrini - former investment banker: " she studied at the Chapin School on Manhattan’s Upper East Side; after college came a stint at Lehman Brothers and then, when she grew disenchanted and became “determined to nourish my soul again,” as she puts it in “Girl Hunter,” she spent a while laboring in the kitchens at prestigious New York-area restaurants like Gramercy Tavern and Blue Hill at Stone Barns."

Marissa Reibstein - "fund-raiser for one of New York City’s temples of cultural liberalism, the 92nd Street Y, who lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn." who just happens to be a friend of Pellegrini's from Wellesley College.

Later in the piece, we get a glimpse at another of their friends: "As the viscera slip out of the pheasant’s cavity, one member of the group, a real estate broker from Chicago named Molly Carroll, gasps and dashes off. She later confesses that the sight turned her into a vegetarian."

This is how the New York Times does journalism. Their writers report on friends of friends. A former girl of mine got written up for planting a fucking garden, just because she belonged to the right set. The paper is staffed by people much like Pellegrini and Reibstein.

I didn't say white women, I said White Women.

P.S. - Georgia Pellegrini

Yeah, pretty nice for sure.

It's funny that these presumably liberal career women are emulating someone they likely despise.



But you know what's coming, right?




You go girl!

I like girls who hunt and fish, or who will come along with me when I do.

If this story was about country women from the red states they'd be depicted as redneck, gun-touting fanatics who thinks Obama is coming to confiscate their firearms.

It's only an important societal trend when women do it. If I left my cushy IT office and went out to fish for some golden gray mullets on the nearby coast (including gutting them myself and keeping their tails as a talisman), no one would bat an eye.

Pearly white teeth, flawless fingernails, brand-new looking clothes and wearing jewelry on the hunt -- it's pretty clear she's a Tourist, in the metaphorical sense. Or dilettante. Same difference.

Most men today are intimidated of women that can handle a weapon.

Post: #13

Au contraire, Aliblahba, most men today lust for women who can handle weapons. Who here would not get excited over banging a hot female cop? Not to mention that meeting a sexy female elf hunter/warrior in the woods and starting a romance with her is the staple of many fantasy stories ever written.





It is poseurs, egoists, bullies, "you-go-girl" types and similar obnoxious female creatures that are repulsive to men - and even then it's not out of fear (same as "homophobia", most people aren't actually afraid of gays, as 2Wycked once pointed out), but out of disgust.

Most guys today though can't handle a female that can handle a weapon.

"This is how the New York Times does journalism. Their writers report on friends of friends. "

This is exactly it. I knew people in journalism in college, who were involved with the campus newspaper and a campus magazine. Biggest bunch of vapid airheads ever - take the solipsism of the average American woman and multiply it by ten, amongst both the men and the women, and that's what these people are like. They don't have any interest in what they're covering, they're just in love with the IDEA of being a journalist, eventually for the New York Times. They're idealistic in theory, but it's just a circle jerk in practice.

They ran a feature about the sexiest people on campus, and while some deserved it, there were a ton of uglies featured simply because they were friends with the authors. These were the people who felt cool because they'd walk into a certain bar and all their journo friends would be sitting there cheering for them. If you sat down to talk to them, you'd realize they were boring losers obsessed with smelling each other's assholes.

Also, this is exactly the modus operandi of the New York Times - masculine, traditional rituals are gauche, until we find one of our favored groups like vegan transexuals or lesbian amputees doing it. Then we have to respect and revere it. See the coverage of bodybuilding - it's weird and declasse... Until they write a piece on VEGAN bodybuilders, who are spoken of in such reverent tones by the NYT writer.

I'd hit both of those bottle-blonds working for NYT. To me it looks like the thinking man's porn/piece of meat.

Soup, do you think the locals in Williamsburg may try to do a culture steal on big game african safari hunters and open a range on some roof top?

This makes me think there's been a 25% drop in masculinity and women are trying to fill the gap.

Quote:wears the bone of a racoon's penis on a necklace (for "mojo")

I have an unrelated question: why do racoon penises have bones? How many do they have? How does that work? From what I know, human penis doesn't have any bones, it's just some sort of heavily veined spongy tissue without "hard parts".
