Open carry can be a great equalizer.

• Stop groping us.

• Stop flashing us.

• Stop raping us.

• Stop murdering us.


Wow, she starts out sounding sort of reasonable, and then ends up THERE?

Hm. I am all for not making people uncomfortable. But how about this?

How about you stop with all the “women can do anything a man can do” nonsense, and we go forward from there.

If no, you do just like us, then, and go out and run and take what comes.

What a load of tripe.

I guess that “equality” thing doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

“Equal except when we aren’t” is more like it.

• It will help if you’re psychic, too.

Buy a gun. learn how to properly use it, get a concealed carry permit and buy a fanny pack. Now you can run without any more fear than you would have going shopping.

So much wrong with this.
1. You’re not gonna “educate” rapists and murders out of being rapists and murderers.
2. Asking men to make you “feel” more safe isn’t gonna me you BE more safe.

And then the usual BS, where the author demonstrates reckless activity in the face of predators who dong GAF. Like wearing headphones while running? YOU are putting yourself at risk and no man is gonna make you feel better about that.

It’s my job to make strange women feel safe?

Unbelievable.

If one is genuinely fearful of imminent fatal attack, one should probably not be wearing HEADPHONES at the time. Goes for both genders.

Exactly. Hey lady, take responsibility for your own safety and start packing.

I stopped reading at “You already have global domination”.

Listen. You have nothing to fear from me. I resent your lumping all men into your all-inclusive category “rapist.”

If I ever saw someone trying to hurt you, I would kill them. Your welcome.

Otherwise go to hell.

OK, there was some over-the-top stuff there. But the article made many good points. Well worth reading!

As a side note, I’ll never walk close to a lone woman who is in an isolated area (a parking garage, etc.). I’ll hang back a bit and give her plenty of space. But I’ll keep a lookout, just in case.
