“I believe that some colleges may potentially be afraid of having a bad reputation and that would be a reason it could be swept under the rug, because they don’t want that to come out into the public,”Nia Sanchez said. “But I think more awareness is very important so women can learn how to protect themselves. Myself, as a fourth-degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself. And I think that’s something that we should start to really implement for a lot of women.”

If you want an effective hand-to-hand combat discipline try out Krav Maga (and Abir).

‘WHAT? Um, so what is the solution genius? Asking the rapist politely not to rape you?’

The left said a few years ago, I think it was recommended to women on a college campus, blow a whistle, scream, pee and crap if you can, vomit on yourself, in general make yourself unattractive to the rapist. I can pretty much pee anytime except when the nurse hands me the cup, but as for defecating and vomiting on demand, I don’t think it is possible. Any handgun would be much more reliable and have more permanent results. I am a man and not in the military so rape is not in my top 100 concerns.

I would recommend that one to folks, also some other forms of close combat, but yes that’s immensely more effective than what most people would go out and take.

‘Assuming a 120 lb woman is going to prevail over a 200 lb rapist because she learned a bunch of katas, while perhaps not implausible, is hopeful thinking at best.

Get a gun.’

It is obvious to me you have not met my 100 pound mother. She also packs just in case her preferred method does not work.

“Feminism is about making unattractive women have greater access to the mainstream of society.”

Only half true. There are plenty super attractive women I know who simply don’t want to depend on men. Even though they are so attractive that wealthy men offer them mansions, islands and a lifetime of leisure.

“Unattractive women don’t have to worry about being raped.”

Also half true. Plenty very elderly and “unattractive” women have been raped as a torture. Sure they don’t have to worry as much as a petite blonde model walking through the hood but it’s still a possibility.

I’m not understanding why feminazis would be opposed to self defense.

That's because they're built like dudes and don't want real women to be able to stand up to them! It's the only thing that makes sense.

Leftist women only care about ONE thing and that is abortion..they hate seeing a woman who defends herself, who refuses to be a victim

exactly if women commonly started beating up rapists that would mean fewer abortions and fewer rapes.... and fewer victims...

feminism would lose its whole stated purpose

Feminism is all about victim hood, if women didn’t see themselves as victims there would be no feminism..feminism is just another term for abortion lovers..look at Miss Pennsylvania..she is a product of rape, her mother chose LIFE instead of aborting her

I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself.

Even back in the 50s, my father taught my sister how to defend herself, and some of the more choice tactics...and also what would happen to her if he ever got wind of her using them gratuitously.

"I can remember when that WAS a feminist stance."

As can I. This is quite baffling.

George from New England sez: Feminism is about making woman victims.

Rush Limbaugh sez: Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.

I sez "Yep." to both of you.
