BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Urban Legends Hunting for Bambi

Mystic,

Thank you for the great article on this. I had not heard of it. When I see things like this, a certain question comes to my mind.

What if, instead of hunting for women, this was something like "White Guys Hunting Black People" - or Asian people, or other people of color - or hell, even something like "Americans Hunting French People" for that matter. Or, "Straight People Hunting Gay People" . . .

There would be a huge uproar. There would probably be demonstrations. Many politicians would jump on the band wagon to support shutting it down and getting these guys into prison somehow.

Why don't we have the same concerns when the group being victimized is women?

Hey JewelryGal,

Get out of my head! lol <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" /> I was thinking the exact same thing. You are absolutely right...if it was any other group...well, with the possible exception of normal people hunting fat people...there would be a tremendous uproar. But hunting naked chicks...no big deal. This is just one more in a long list of examples as to the attitude that women somehow inherently deserve to be victimized, in big ways and in small. It's so pervasive that most of it goes unnoticed as "just the way things are."

Except the naked chicks voluntarily do it. What about their right of free choice?

Im going to be annoying and say that 'skinny' couldve been used instead of 'normal' in the phrase "normal people hunting fat people" theres your little uproar haha
