Or Russia. Odd how they don't talk about smashing the patriarchy there.

Because the legitimately do not believe in objective reality. Its male because they perceive it as masculine. And it is sexist because all men are sexist. That is the thought process here.
I couldn't have put it better. Farm equipment is designed to get the job done. It's not deficient because it is big and heavy. It is big and heavy because it's designed to get dragged through a field for years on end, and your lack of upper body strength is a handicap.
I've known some female farmers, and they were strong. Not muscle-strong, but spiritually strong. They had husbands and sons for the heavy lifting.
Or maybe they regard farming as a metaphor for male oppression of women. Driving a tractor around to plow or reap looks like rape to them.

I feel like these might not be actual farmers saying this? I mean, I know a feminist farmer, her name's Dana, she's tough as nails and 5'4", and she acted in a musical about a small town farmers featuring an effeminate but not gay, son admitting to his father that he wants to be a poet, not a farmer, and that actually resolves with him learning he can work a farm AND do poetry, and a B side plot about a black man marrying the Vietnamese widow of an american soldier, both of whom are outsiders in the town, and them finding acceptance in the town together by participating in the town's traditions. (The widow is extremely badass)
Anyway *cough*. Dana always says that Farming was tough but rewarding, and I can't see her arguing that equipment is manufactured in a sexist way... sure she says most of it is intended for someone TALLER than her, but she's always been able to find a mechanic to make adjustments if needed.
The song from that musical "Because we've got CAMO!" is stuck in my goddamn head.
Ah, actually she was just an actress in it. Janet wrote it and I misremembered. Regardless.

Imma disagree, giving credit where it's due the woman complaining in the article is a real farmer. She runs Spurgeon Veggies in Rio, Illinois.
Granted her complaint that she's really tired after 12 hours and farming is just hard to do is eyebrow raising as I've never heard any farmer, any gender, anywhere talk about how easy farm work is and how much energy they have after 12 hours of tilling the fields. But I want to be fair and it's apparent she has at least a food plot going on.

No they didnt Feminist from the city moved out to the country. Assumed that farming was easy and them got pissy when it wasn't. So to avoid admitting that the evulz Trump women were tougher and more competent then them. They raised a ruckus about John Deer being "sexist". That's actually what happened liberal broads pissed off because farming is hard ass work.

How many acres what equipment exactly etc. "I have a garden" isnt farming its standard anywhere not a city. So if her complaints are legit we need specifics otherwise it's a lie to push ideology.
Speaking of some one who has done gardening it is very easy to fuck that up too.
I know this because I fucked up bad pretty much everything died.

Everyone used to it used to be called "being a man" but I guess that "toxic masculinity" now.

Apparently this lady actually "farms" waiting on citations to see if she "farms" or if she just has a garden at best. Stay tuned

Since they are blaming the tools for the failiure, I would say it was their incompetence. Afterall, bad workman always blames his tools.
