Hi Spaghetti Badger, I like your post.
I didn't want to get drawn into making comments about what the differences might be, but if I had, it might be along the lines that females tend to listen to their coaches better. However, that could be way too contentious so I kept quiet.
Oh for sure, a lot of men (and I've been guilty of this) tend to let ego get in the way of moving forward, which is one of the downsides to men being much more competitive than women (and this isn't just from evo psych, higher testosterone levels make people less risk averse and this has been shown in both men and women) when taken as a group
never reaching their potential, partly perhaps because of the dinosaur misogynistic attitude that still exists in some areas of the sport.
I agree.
Women only rounds should be abolished (so Hereford and the WA 1440 Ladies) and women should be made to shoot 100 yards/ 90m like the men are - Field archery is actually far more egalitarian and non-sexist in this particular regard. They're clearly just as capable as men, it's just that they don't because social pressure.. or something
When that changes the women will be free to have the belief that they are at least the equal of men in archery
Are we talking actual misogyny as in "the hatred and distrust of all women" or the watered down "this one guy said something a little mean about this one women, once, after she'd keyed his car, after a few too many drinks in the pub" that seems to pass as "the hatred and distrust of all women" in today's society. This might seem like an over the top example but I've been called a misogynist because I dared to campaign on behalf of male domestic abuse victims and because I'm against mutilating the genitals of little boys as well as little girls.
Also, see my previous point about how they should be made to shoot 100 yards/ 90m like the men. Because then they would be equal to the men shooting.
(little dig there for my stalker :rotfl

Seeing as you've
previously condoned doxing on this forum, and quite recently to, complaining about stalkers is exactly like a pot calling the kettle black
