Yes, You Can Stop Violence Against Women (But not how the article describes - See comments)

It's unanimous: We all want violence against women to stop. In fact, nine out of 10 women said that ending domestic violence and sexual assault should be the top priority for a new women's movement (according to the Center for the Advancement of Women) -- and also for every politician. There are ways you can make this happen -- for one woman, and for all.

Got up early cut a bunch of grass and waited for the wife to come home. She finally arrived in a mood that would make a grizzly bear blush. She went right to the stove and started to prepare cans for canning some beans. Then she went to the dehydrator and loaded it up with a bunch of apples without saying a word. I sensed she had a bad day at work. I don't have the best sense of humor and I started singing, She had a bad day. I use my own words because I don't know the real words. Didn't take long to figure out I was making things worse.

Holy cow, with beans canning and apples drying I got an ear full on just how bad a day it was.

I didn't say a word as we took the beans out of the canning pot. Thank Goodness the lids sealed in what seemed like an eternity. Took the apples out of the dryer and put them in vacuum bags without saying a word. At this point, I said the only thing I thought would make her feel better - Let's go outside and blast something. She went into my mancave without saying a word and gathered up what she wanted and I was at least relieved she heard what I said.

We went out to the back of the property and she wasted a magazine from the Glock, tearing up some bottles I had set up. I then set up a big stump I had cut a while back and she emptied a 30 round magazine from our AK-47 which made shreads of the poplar wood. While she reloaded another 30 rounds, I went in and grabbed the camera. Just had to get a picture of this. She finished off the rest of the poplar stump and switched back to the Glock. When she was finished, I took my Glock and put it in my Fobus and we walked back to the house. We talked about watering the garden and about which trees needed to be cut down next. What a relief. The bad day was behind her and I sung the bad day song in my head instead of to her.

Came inside and checked the news. Found this article. Found a glaring omission - the author failed to mention a firearm to protect against an assault. Spent the next 3 hours trying to download to photobucket because AOL really sucks. Finally got it done. Just saying, the best way to fend off an attack is not talk, money, whining after the fact or Govt. programs designed for victims. Best way to deter an assault is to be armed and not afraid to defend yourself.

Also it would help if they stopped nagging so much.

Is this a problem in America or is now the focus of the anti-men movement to have American men take all the blame for the world?

Another way to prevent women from being abused--they should join Second Amendment Sisters. That is what we do--train women to protect themselves against people who would harm them.

My wife was a missionary in Mexico and at Indian reservations in the southwest many years ago. On many occasion's she had to defend herself against animals who tried to rape her. Just saying best defense is from the business end of a gun. Especially when outnumbered and all alone.

We harvested some zuchinnis today and froze them up. So excited because I am known for my black thumb. It’s nice to know we won’t go hungry! :)

[unixfox]

Any time you see a woman with 2 black eyes it's because she didn't listen the first time.

Drive by post....fleeing...

[whinecountry]

Great story and photo!

[appleseed]

Cool.

Don’t know about your experience, but mine is you mess with someone like my woman - you’ll not only be fleeing but you’ll be fleeing with buckshot shoved straight up your arse.

My ex-husband should be dang happy I didn’t own a gun the night he tried to open a second front door in our house - using me to do it.

[hiredhand]

She sounds like a few that I’ve got around here...in more ways than one! :-)

There’s an ad playing on the radio here about some medical research being done, and they list things that can cause dark circles under the eyes. I always silently add “mouthing off.”

My sense of humor is one of the reasons I’m still single.

[SJSAMPLE]

Niiiiiice.
Next time, step back 10’ and turn the camera sideways ;)

"We all want violence against women to stop."

Sure. End all violence, all hunger, live forever and so on. Make some stew or something, and stifle yourselves. Republicans will have to repeal the commie, anti-Second-Amendment, anti-American Violence Against Women Act and other man-hater laws, before they ever get my vote again.


From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

 Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
 Hysteric.] (Med.)
 A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
 in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
 exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
 so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
 the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
 paroxism or fits.
 [1913 Webster]
 
 Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
 the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
 and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
 throat. The affection presents the most varied
 symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
 diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
 alone. Hysteric

The women in my family fire a lot of rounds and loads—not sensitive to recoil. But they’re women. They don’t have to worry about beatings from their men, because being anti-feminist, they choose good ones. Feminists and SNAGs (sensitive New Age guys) are safer to avoid bothering them, though.

Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon and some beans
And go out to the car and change the tire
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

Come on baby you can fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers
And boil me up another pot of tea
Then put another log on the fire babe
And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday
And don't I warn you when you're gettin' fat
Ain't I a gonna take you fishin' with me someday
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

Ain't I always nice to your kid sister
Don't I take her driving every night
So sit here at my feet cause I like you when you're sweet
And you know it ain't feminine to fight.

So put another log on the fire...
