So why are there so few women on the paintball field? Could it maybe have something to do with the fact that boys have been playing with guns since they were old enough to carry them, while girls were given Barbies and bedazzlers?
Yet, despite the deck being stacked against it, there are still women who want to join the armed forces, including the special forces (perhaps because they had lots of brothers and weren't limited to traditionally "girly" toys).
Now, imagine if all little girls got to play with guns too: when they grow up, how many more do you think you'd see when you play paintball?

Lol there are tons of women including my little sister who have been "playing" with guns (the fact that you call it playing is evidence enough that you shouldnt be in the military) since they were big enough to handle the recoil. She carries a gun, and has some nice big stay-at-homes, but has zero interest in getting shot at in whichever 3rd world country we're bullying this week. Just like tons of other women.
Do you think we need more female garbage truck drivers or plumbers? Im sure literally dozens of women are chomping at the bit to get a shot at one of those male-exclusive jobs that will hire whoever qualifies regardless of gender.
Yknow why little girls play house and shit? It's because they want to. The little girls that dont want to are running around with their stick swords play fighting with the boys who wanted to do that too.
