Not a very intelligent person, is she?

“...violent crimes and behaviour that some men perpetuate...”

Wait, isn’t that gender profiling? We’re not allowed to talk about how race or religion correlate to violence, but, damn those men, they’re all so violent.

Works over on this side of the pond, you brainless twit.

When decisions about weapons fall into the hands of women (in general) a culture is screwed. They're too willing to trade freedom for safety, and generally getting neither.

I blame British men for being *such* a bunch of pusillanimous faggots.

[IronJack]

every woman I know has felt unsafe or intimidated at some point

Psssst. I'm going to wager that just about every man has felt the same way at one time or another. It can be a scary world. But you know what? Owning a weapon and knowing how -- and when -- to use it properly makes it LESS scary, idiot. Especially for women, who are often outmatched physically by men.

And no man in Australia was EVER raped by a man because he was unarmed, eh Sheila???

Say now, Senator Leyonhjelm, I have an idea. Why not let women be “pro choice” about carrying a firearm for personal protection?

[packrat35]

Yes these anti-guns types feel so much superior than the rest of us.

They would rather see a woman raped and strangled to death in an alley than using a gun to defend herself.

Against an unarmed subject, a man who gets to pick his female victim will win almost every time. It's not like an attacker will mistakenly choose an unusually tall, fit woman. Thugs and rapists can pick their targets, and all but the stupidest will be bigger and stronger than their chosen victims nearly 100% of the time. Throw in surprise and it gets really hard for the democrat predator to lose.

Professional MMA fighter Ronda Rousey, even at 5' 7" and 135 pounds, would probably beat most thugs, but highly-trained women like her are exceptionally rare. Women under the average female height of 5' 3"? They would have near zero chance unarmed. Give citizens such as my mother, my wife, or my daughters the firearm of their choice, and they are more than a match for a thug - in the case of my daughters several thugs.

She’ll go back to rooting around with the boys.

[Secret Agent Man]

She hasnt been keepin up on who murders more children, men or women. Hasnt been keeping up on the wver increasing number of female teachers raping minor male students.

[Fhios]

The elephant in the room is of course when women strive to be attractive and surprise surprise, they’ve attracted. If you’re rich, good looking and young and the women isn’t a dolt you’re okay. If you’re just a poor unkempt sod working a 9-5 and the bosses secretary wears those tight mid thigh skirts with 3” stiletto heels ... Then you’re in jeopardy.

...every woman I know has felt unsafe...

In my experience, I have seen many women feel unsafe when there is no danger, and feel safe when there is danger.

Feelings lie. Always have. Always will.

If anyone (of any of the 57 genders (just kidding)) is going to carry, they need to be taught when to shoot; not just how to shoot.

Same with martial arts classes. Instructors like to teach women how to kick a man in the head or groin, or how to gouge a man's eyes, but they don't seem to spend time on how to avoid problems like they do with male students.
