I should be allowed to go hunting even though I'm a girl, shouldn't I?

Of course you should. Girls are just as scary to animals as guys are.

[mettlesome]

My brothers think that I should stay at home, also because I'm too young. I know in some places a proper lady doesn't hunt, but Narnia is different!

[giftedateight]

That's bull- uh, that's wrong. You should do whatever you feel like doing.

[selfished]

I say ya should just kick their ass for telling you you can't go and then go by yourself.

[mettlesome]

I don't want to hurt them...

[selfished]

... Well, I guess you can skip that part if you really want to.. but they shouldn't leave you behind just because you're a girl, you can't just be okay with that.

[hawkblocker]

Why would you not be allowed to solely based on that? Many of the great warriors I know are female. Hunting is not something solely for the men.

[mettlesome]

I think my brothers are being protective.

[hawkblocker]

Then why not prove them wrong? Go hunting on your own and bring back something that'll make them realise you're able to do it.

[trickstering]

Generally, women don't go hunting but it isn't unheard of.

[mettlesome]

Why don't they?

[trickstering]

Traditional social roles, I imagine. Women do other things.

[snakeinmahboot]

Girls can do anything boys can do!

[mettlesome]

I think so, too.

[snakeinmahboot]

Yeah! And don't let them forget it!

[fairyofwind]

If you want to then I don't see why not.

[mettlesome]

I wish you could tell that to Peter and Edmund.

[schrodingersghost]

What does being a girl have to with it?

[mettlesome]

Most girls are more like my sister Susan.

[sandinmyboots]

Of course! Women make most deadly hunters, even moreso than men!

[mettlesome]

Really?

[significator]

Should, yes. It's a bit silly that some people still think otherwise.

[mettlesome]

Is your world like that?

[the_visitor]

Yes.

[mettlesome]

Good. That's what everyone here on the community seems to think.
