Oh no!
I’ve become readily identifiable!
LOL
Seriously though..one of the comments made by a husband/dad really hits the heart of the issue;
It’s interesting that you think my wife and daughters are also compensating. I agree they are. They are compensating for being smaller and less powerful than the rampaging gangs of thugs, killers, and rapists that would do them harm. I would quote statistics from places like Australia and Britain which now have higher rates of crimes against women now that they have been disarmed for the convenience of their attackers but, in your emotional state, facts would not suffice.
I also thought we had moved on into the days of empowered women but, not according to you. I suppose you would prefer they just lay there quietly and take it.
Apparently Todd has had the luxury of never being assaulted/attacked by someone larger or stronger than him.
Some have not been so fortunate.
There was a time when I could have defended myself pretty well, but I have--gradually--joined the "weaker sex" in that regard, due to age and infirmity. Why should I have to become a potential victim to gangs of roaming "yutes" and "yobs?"
I used to think those who rattled on about CW2 were paranoid. Now I think they may have been more farsighted that myself. I hope that doesn't happen because it will not be pretty if it does, and there are external forces out there which would love to take advantage of this country at a moment of weakness and/or pick over its carcass if the opportunity presented itself.
I'm glad there are gals like Sal out there who will do what they can to prevent that from happening.
Have a great day and a great New Year, Sal!
