Even though I'm in my 70's I think I'm more modern than most people a fraction of my age who think they are Liberal and modern.
Firstly, I see absolutely no reason why women fishing should be segregated in matches, its not a physical sport, some would question if it even is a sport or not.
Secondly, I don't understand why people can not just view people as people rarther than, x sex, y race etc.
Third, In an age where young people are tucked up inside and are becoming more and more alien to the real world. Why is fishing not encouraged by schools? Come to think of it gardening, hiking too, we wonder why our kids have vitamin deficiencies! Kids nowadays think fish come from morrisons fish counter and vegetables from the EU for gods sake!
My son and his wife both fish, I encouge my grandkids to give it a go regardless of their gender. Maybe if more people brought their children up as people rarther than stereotyping them maybe fishing would be more diverse?
