You are a marksmen so you know a lot about hacking fire arms. Where I have lived the great majority of the wives were either current or former school teachers/administrators, gubmint employees, HR specialists, lawyers or those who worked for lawyer lobbyists, or members of the ‘helping professions’. I have encountered two field grade female USArmy officers who were, in their words, ‘afraid of and hated guns’, ( one of these women went from CONUS to being the exec of a Support Group in Korea). I also know from trying to get my own wife to understand the utility of doing even a few of these things and we have hurricanes. The way of resisting is to complain about clutter and state the is no space to store a lot of food or water (not exactly so but repeated over and over again). Next is objection to ‘spending money we can't afford to spend’. My response has been to just quietly begin buying items a few at a time. I fortunately have a number of good quality firearms from earlier in my life.
Few women I have met who have a college degree can think rationally about survival issues. Their learning has taught them this is not a problem. Now the glass ceiling, that is a big big problem .

Lol, I'm also a public high school teacher. The women on FR are much more realistic than the women you describe, especially now that it seems we are really in for tough times.

Agreed. My wife has an MA in Ed and finds the ‘computer’ intimidating.

My husband has said that we can’t defend ourselves against a horde of looters and I told him that when/if the SHTF we are digging an 8 foot ditch with sharpened bamboo at the bottom and then we just have to defend against those who get across.

All of my girlfriends and I have firearms and are prepping. I don’t have enough stuff yet (though who ever really considers that he or she does have enough?) but I’m accumulating it constantly.

The truth is that when SHTF comes to pass, I won’t last long; I’m a woman, I’m alone, I’m getting on in years, and my location isn’t ideal. But I’ll hold out as long as I can.

Personally, I have never understood why you men choose such silly, light-minded, liberal-leaning women to marry, when what you want is a mate who will stand beside you through thick and thin. There are plenty of us female conservatives, and female NRA members are not exactly rare.

Re your post 13, you have described Mrs. OldPossum to a “T.” Nevertheless, I have devoted a section of my basement to prepping and am steadily filling it.
