Funny thing happened yesterday. The "Family Crisis" lady visited class and showed a video of an a couple of abusive men mistreating some girls on two different occasions with cursing (blocked out, the boy told me). My boy asked the lady why the women didn't keep a weapon handy to defend against abuse. The FC lady answered, what would she do if he took it away from her and used it on her." My son answered, "That's what's called a backup weapon. The whole class broke out in laughter and the lady didn't have a reply.

This is like not taking a parachute when jumping out of a burning airplane on the off chance that it might not open.
