BBC News – The women who are killing it in taxidermy https://t.co/DAm3Tjj2df
— Steve Sailer (@Steve_Sailer) December 9, 2019
Let me guess: young women who are taxidermy enthusiasts tend to have dads who are taxidermists or, at minimum, hunters.
Personally, I find it heart-warming that a lot of women who are in non-feminine professions tend to be the daughters of beloved fathers in the same business. But nobody else seems to notice.

Ms. Kaye is doing some serious humble-bragging. Oh, it’s so hard to be a taxidermist when you’re young and beautiful like me! Everyone wants to talk about my appearance instead of my creepy dead animals!

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of it was genuine and they don’t have a father who did it in a lot of cases like the ones profiled here. Women have started to peruse weird passion hobbies they’d never have contemplated in the past. This is particularly true if the thing in question has a kind of arts and crafts angle which taxidermy can represent. The women profiled might not be ‘old men in sheds’ as they derived but they are pretty weird themselves, possibly more eccentric than the average male taxidermist.
What gets me is the idea that somehow somebody was stopping women becoming taxidermists or that anyone cares if there are women taxidermists or not. There seems to be a lot of this fretting in certain fields about ‘stereotypes’ of the field. But really, what does that amount to? You go a party and say you do something not typically associated with your age, sex, ethnicity/race and what? People find you slightly more interesting.
Though it does give this Friday Night Dinner scene about getting ‘a man’ to get the fox stuffed some added fun.
Now, it’s only a matter of time before Psycho gets retconned with a female lead and a daughter-father storyline.
Always makes me laugh.
“But nobody else seems to notice.”
I’m assuming that by “nobody” you mean the writers employed by the news publications you scan for material.
Is it really non-feminine, though? Women love feathers and fur, and they have an eye for detail. They’re also good at seeing the “personality” in things. Seems like these would all be good traits in a taxidermist.
Might take the girls some time to get the hang of it.

Dads should let their girls be girls. It is often the case that fathers who have no boys push their girls to boyish or manly activities. It’s selfish and unhealthy. Among other reasons, that’s how we have women in the police and military.

We also have a daughter-in-law who was raised as a "son". She is trying to do the same thing to her only child, our granddaughter. For a time, our daughter-in-law insisted that her daughter wear only blue-themed clothing ... nothing pink. Also, all her toys need a masculine theme: only trucks, airplanes, ships, cars, lego sets, and space ships. The word is out for gifts. Anything feminine is returned.
As with most feminists enthralled with having a masculine identity (perhaps this is the original genesis of the "trans" movement), one might call this a DSM-level case of "self-loathing" or "self-hate". That would be an accurate description of our daughter-in-law and the movement. Yes, our daughter-in-law's marriage is troubled ... and our granddaughter is suffering from severe emotional problems from which she will probably never recover.
Life is challenging for girls and women who are taught to loathe being female. The problem is that there is not a realistic option open to them.

My thought too: women’s talents are almost always highly detail-oriented. There’s even sewing involved in taxidermy. An evolutionary biologist I know employed a young black woman (who wore long fake nails) who did exquisite taxidermy on tiny shrews, under a low-power microscope! He couldn’t figure out how she did it with the nails, but she did.

Yes, these women have desires to perform their craft on an ex husband.
Yes I dunno if this is a turn on or a turn off lol
The number & percentage of hunters is going down though….few years back the local paper had state officials b**ching about fewer hunters and thus less revenue for game wardens to play with

Surprised that there is a market for grey squirrels. They are like rats. I have found that mummified grey squirrels are a dime a dozen while cleaning out under my porch.
Same insight but a maybe more interesting fact is that church wise, the push for women’s ordination, almost all came from women whose fathers were ministers. Even today a large number of women in mainline protestant seminaries and pulpits are the daughters of minister fathers in more conservative communions. It pops up more often than you might think in church politics that a guy running for a church office gets questioned because his daughter is an ordained minister in the liberal group.
Also, YouTube’s algorithm knows too much about me and proposes that I watch “Hair Love”.

You are right about girls following their fathers into non-traditional occupations. I taught in an engineering program and often asked students what their fathers did. A majority of girls had a dad in engineering.
Tangentially on topic: The weirdest thing about Douglas Brinkley’s environmentally oriented biography of Teddy Roosevelt, Wilderness Warrior, was how into taxidermy the guy was. He studied various techniques, and it was something he just could not delegate. He was doing this stuff up until his death.
So now we’re back to using dead animals as fashion accessories? What next, using their body parts in herbal tea?

OT: But the genius geneticist George Church has returned strong after the failure of his company (Bad timing, sequencing costs are still too high) and looking a bit Julian Assange-ish. Anyway, one of the many new ventures he is engaged with is a dating app that will accept your genome and only show you matches who aren’t also carriers of known rare disease variants. The thinking going that some of these population variants are so rare that even a slight effort to block carriers reproducing with each other will quickly wipe them out of the population. Though some serious conditions have carrier frequencies that are actually quite common, like variants for Cystic Fibrosis.
Despite this involving those who actively wish to avoid reproducing with another carrier of their rare disease variant, the blue ticks are already calling this ‘eugenics’, which it strictly speaking is, but I think they mean to imply something more sinister and involuntary…
https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1204010902640574467
If this becomes the norm it could have huge effects on population structure given the larger frequencies of some variants. It is an interesting ethical question, but the immediate effect will be to increase outbreeding, however slightly so I don’t know why blueticks are so annoyed. But maybe it could give rise to more considered thought to genetic pedigree in other ways.
Most likely this app will be used by people who have a terrible immediate family history with serious rare diseases and are traumatised by this impacting siblings or other relatives and are very serious about not facing it with their own children and it will have very little impact on population structure. It’s childish of these people to not see the service this app might provide for such people, it isn’t a gimmick.
It also assumes that none of these conditions will not find treatments or cures going forward, lessening the imperative to do something like this. (As happened with some forms of Cystic Fibrosis)

At my college, all the girls who majored in physics had fathers who were either physicists or mathematicians. Many of the girls mentioned resenting the pressure their fathers put on them to be scientists. One girl I knew frequently recounted the tense interactions she had with her father whenever she asked him for help on assignments; he couldn’t understand why the answers weren’t obvious too her.

Nope, you would be wrong on this one. My ex, Geoff Vassallo, the owner of Wilderness Taxidermy, has been doing Taxidermy for over 40 years. Hunting has dropped off here in California, so he has segued into teaching classes. His last few apprentices have been women. He teaches classes of mostly or all women artists. A lot of them are gay. This artist, http://leheartdesign.com/ was given a class as a gift from her wife. She wrote my ex to tell him it changed her life and she found her true passion.

Ironically, taxidermy seems like something women would be good at.
If they were interested in it.
Remember that both nature and nurture matter for that. I think iSteve’s point is more towards the nurture side.

From a David Letterman Top 10 list on why the Americans beat the British in the Revolutionary War:
Their diet: tea and crumpets. Our diet: raw squirrel meat and corn likker.
It’s not that the fathers push them into it…it’s that when there isn’t a son in the family one of the girls will naturally gravitate towards partially fulfilling the male role. It’s possibly some kind of unconscious survival instinct to help preserve the family’s status and property. This happens even in 3rd world countries, and was observed even hundreds of years ago.

West Town is only 7% Black, but the attacker was Black. Imagine that….
I noticed the same thing when dating in the 1960s. However, there were also cases in which a daughter (usually one of the older children) was raised as a “son” when the son proved disappointing. The daughter in question was convinced from 8th Grade through the university that I would someday be her husband. I didn’t happen because she was too aggressive, competitive, and controlling. I call it “territorial aversion” … the same thing that demographics of males are currently experiencing with females infected with feminism. It is difficult to live harmoniously with a woman who is always competing with you for territorial control.
We also have a daughter-in-law who was raised as a “son”. She is trying to do the same thing to her only child, our granddaughter. For a time, our daughter-in-law insisted that her daughter wear only blue-themed clothing … nothing pink. Also, all her toys need a masculine theme: only trucks, airplanes, ships, cars, lego sets, and space ships. The word is out for gifts. Anything feminine is returned.
As with most feminists enthralled with having a masculine identity (perhaps this is the original genesis of the “trans” movement), one might call this a DSM-level case of “self-loathing” or “self-hate”. That would be an accurate description of our daughter-in-law and the movement. Yes, our daughter-in-law’s marriage is troubled … and our granddaughter is suffering from severe emotional problems from which she will probably never recover.

Isn’t gender conformity primarily enforced by peers, who tend to be of the same gender?
Dads are in a somewhat awkward position. If they push, that can be damaging. If they don’t push, that may also be resented. Growing up in a working class family, I wish someone would have taught me a little bit about cars even though I wasn’t interested. (Uncles and male cousins all knew how to keep cars running.)
If you have a son, you’re going to insist he learn some basics (scramble eggs, boil pasta, make a grilled cheese sammich, etc.) whether he’s interested in cooking or not. The same ought to hold for daughters.

But I’ll be damned if any child of mine is a quantitative illiterate.
So it finally percolated into the mainstream. Saw a documentary about these taxidermy girls, some years back. Didn’t reveal anything about daddy issues as I recall, seemed that they came from all walks of life. You had the posh girl stuffing the felled game and the tattooed-up one, being transgressive and all, fixing up road kill. A bit of a grisly undertaking and, mind you, I’m not unfamiliar with dead animals.

Life is challenging for girls and women who are taught to loathe being female. The problem is that there is not a realistic option open to them. Nature refuses to cooperate no matter how much they protest and complain. The result is a harrowing cognitive and emotional dissonance from which there is no escape.Replies: @BB753
Sad to hear about your grand-daughter’s upbringing. These days, if men do not obey their wives, they end up in divorce court. Modern marriages are all destined for failure because women want to be “more” equal than men (which is the definition of feminism: female supremacism). Not only won’t they obey their husbands, as used to be the case, they won’t even listen to them, those chauvinistic pigs.
