I'm curious why more feminists are not strong 2nd Amendment supporters. It seems to me that in a criminal confrontation where a woman is being attacked by a man (armed or not), a firearm would be the Great Equalizer. I would think feminists would strongly encourage women to become proficient with firearms, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Can someone enlighten me?

To them, it's not an effective defense tool, it's a murder weapon that only murderers would ever use. I'd say "except the cops" but most feminists fall for the anti-cop hysteria of BLM and the Mainstream Media. Nor do they see through the politicians who know a disarmed populace cannot resist tyranny as well as an armed populace can.

My perception of many feminist leaders is that they are intelligent, thoughtful people. It surprises me that on this issue they are so short-sighted.
I had a girlfriend who carried just because of being raped when she was in college. She wasn't going to let that happen again.

Posted by SpikeTalonI kneel before no one. No gods, no masters, no control freaks. Screw the tyrants from both political extremes, and their agendas.
Posted by SpikeTalonNeither one of the extremes, and yet the best of both worlds...
Posted by SpikeTalonSubstitute the word liberals for progressives, and that would describe me as well. As for the conservative part, the socially/theocratic (aka, bible thumpers, mostly) ones in particular.
