Now there is a proposition that we both may agree upon.
And yes, I did note that the student quoted in the article was a member of the school's college Republicans, and I was amused to think at how offended 88% of the student body and 108% of the faculty must be, that there is any such thing!

In the absence of chivalry, and it's been drummed out of men for most of a century now, a woman needs to look to her own safety. I have no daughters, but most of my Special Forces buddies have at least one, and every single one has been taught to defend herself in the only way that we know works: with a firearm. All the judo stuff looks cool and builds fitness and self-confidence, but the most impressive female martial artist I've ever seen needs to be armed to handle a rogue male (I won't dignify the atavistic throwback that raises his hand to a woman with the title "man").
