Question of the Day: Can We Get Past This “Woman Shooter” Thing?

The majority of TTAG’s Armed Intelligentsia who post comments are male. When a female comments—as Mrs. Ryan does from time to time—who cares? Wait; that’s not what I meant. I mean what difference does is make if a TTAG commentator is male or female? Do we have to examine every female gun owner’s comment and experience through the prism of “a woman’s perspective”? Can we get over the ovaries thing? I’m still seeing news features with women reporters (of course) based on the “news” that a woman—A WOMAN!—knows how to shoot. Who’d a thunk it? [Click here for a recent example of the genre.] Or consider the above clip from last night’s Outdoor Channel show Superstar Lady Shooters. Wonderful production. Great shooting. But I was left wondering: why is there a separate shooting class for women anyway? Is that sexist or what?
