This is coming from a male right? Women have always been prejudiced because we apparently are  the"weaker" sex. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. Women and Men are not necessarily  equal, but that does not make women the weaker sex. In Ancient Greece, where The Hunters originated, women could not choose who they married and the person their fathers chose could be some hearthrob (unlikley) or they could be 70 years old. Joining the Hunters was like a way to get away from all of that. Some may have had bad experiences with men. Some just fricking loved Artemis. And, some of them were better than men. Kallisto, Zoe, Thalia, Artemis herself, they could all easily beat a man if they challenged them. So have a think about that. you know what most of those women also have? a thousand years more experience hunting and a blessing that makes them all expert archers like children of apollo. a blessing that makes them faster and in general better at the job of hunting. so challenging them to a hunt when that's their supernatural blessing will always result in them winning. the other thing is yes thousands of years of experience means that they of all people should have had time to reflect on the world, it's state and how to change it rather than wallow in sexist idiocy. see if they were intelligent they'd have gotten past any grievances they had with men long ago. instead well you know exactly how they act.

So basically magicking and experience make them better than some 30 year old demigod could be. sure that doesn't however excuse living for thousands of years and yet learning nothing from all the changes that have occurred. rather they've probably gotten worse over time because the hunters self perpetuate the idea that men are idiots not worth a damn. every new hunter is just another reason for them to hate males.
