I never realized orange was a masculine color. I thought we used blaze orange because it is close to if not the most visible color in contrast to everything else in nature. What in Gods name happened to common sense and logic as a basis for safety rules? Now we are basing them off of feelings, inclusion, exclusion, whatever?!?! Like I said earlier our future looks grim. Goddamit have things gotten way off course.
My girls wear orange and they love it. They think that orange vest is a badge of honor and it makes me proud. They have a lot of pink clothes on underneath but never once heard them ask for a pink vest. Some days I truly believe my toddlers would win a battle of wits with most adults I know (if we could base that battle off of common sense and not making sure we don’t hurt someone’s feelings by being honest, of course).
I love seeing women and young girls being active in the outdoors. The future of hunting probably rests on the need to get them involved. However, if it requires a pink vest to get a female to be interested in hunting, she should probably sit it out, IMO.
