It's pretty clear: boys and girls are different and should be raised differently. Boys need to be taught how to become men so they go camping, hiking, fishing, etc. while women need to be taught to cook, do the laundry, and raise the children. On the farm, I'll get in a year's worth of hard work as a ranch hand (hopefully I'll meet a nice man who resembles Heath Ledger) and will enjoy the aroma of a freshly baked apple pie sitting in the window cooling, cooked by one of the women (who, in her rightful place, learned cooking skills as a young child - fortunately she did NOT receive any Boy Scouts-esque training).
None of those things.
You'd (hopefully) learn perspective about what details matter and how you only have enough time to manage a finite number of things in a day. You'd learn that most women, just like most men, are hard workers, but that it makes a shitload of sense to have a man moving bales into the barn while the woman brushes down the horses. Can they both do either job? For sure. Does that division of labor represent an efficiency? Yes.
You're a young 20-something nuts deep in an argument on behalf of women everywhere talking about two organizations that you have no boots-on-the-ground experience with. A lot of folks have been even handed in their replies to you, but it's painfully obvious that you're deadset on pushing a narrative instead of hearing about the experiences that the folks who were actually in the organizations that you're actively arm-chair aristotling.
My farm comment was not to make you dissect the male-on-male matches that you'd get on famersonly.com (you'd be joyfully split in twain, no doubt). It was to say, "hey, dude, you're too far away up there in the ivory tower; get some experience."
