My daughter got into an interesting discussion with a woman who offered the position that women should not take self-defense classes, because that’s not fair to other women who would not be equally able to protect themselves. She actually said that for one woman to take a self defense class victimizes other women by making them more vulnerable to violence. IOW, if you can protect yourself, you’re guilty of violence every time somebody else can’t. Yeah, these kooks are out there.
Also, what says you can’t help a sister that you spot in distress?
