It is so funny to hear so-called "progressives" who argue one minute that women should be in combat and do other dangerous jobs as well as or better than men, but when it comes to self-defense they suddenly backtrack and say enlightened things like, "it's not lady-like to fight back," "guns are just too COMPLICATED to operate, especially in a stressful situation and especially for women," "women are likely to be frightened and just give the gun to the attacker," "she was probably asking for it," "only 'bad' women have guns," "she should submit and do whatever the attacker says," "she could have just screamed and someone would have rescued her," and so on. The left wants women to be faithful clients of the welfare state--they don't want women to be really empowered.
