“I believe that some colleges may potentially be afraid of having a bad reputation and that would be a reason it could be swept under the rug, because they don’t want that to come out into the public,”Nia Sanchez said. “But I think more awareness is very important so women can learn how to protect themselves. Myself, as a fourth-degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself. And I think that’s something that we should start to really implement for a lot of women.”

Do you see the FemiNazis getting up in the grills of the IslamoNazis protesting the socially acceptable art of wife beating, honor killings, and other forms of misogyny?

The crickets wail loudly!

I don’t know about her 38 but she can carry her fourth degree black belt everywhere she goes.

She does a pretty good job carrying her 38s too (but I'm with you on the black belt - it's even allowed in gun free zones).

Yes, this doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. I thought the whole feminist ideal was to be self sufficient, self fulfilling and self supporting? This is just plain crazy talk..................

“I’m not understanding why feminazis would be opposed to self defense.”

Because self defense puts the onus of responsability on themselves. When they think of this they think that it infers that they are the ones responsible for the act and their victimhood kicks in and they come up with “HOW DARE YOU BLAME ME!”

They cant get past the non causal relationship. Just another victim. Take responsability for your saftey. Telling men to not rape is never going to work. Kicking him in the privates or plugging him with a .38 sure will!

The ‘feminist’ movement was invented by a group of Bull Dykes that wanted more prey.

To gain ‘market share’ they needed to convince women to hate men and blame them for everything from headaches and cramps, to kotex applied adhesive side up!

“Remain defenseless.”

The insane Leftists want people to be totally dependent on government.

Their reasoning seems to be, “Why defend yourself when you can wait for a government approved police officer come to your aid 20 minutes after you have been violated? You are a BAD Socialist if you try to do anything for yourself. Submit to Big Brother, Criminals, and everyone else if doing otherwise doesn't include the State”

The solution is to train your lady in the fine art of hand gun use. Took my lady last Thursday to the range and she was hot. Put 30 rounds in a 3 inch circle with the PMR-30 I got her. Nothing finer than a beautiful women with a fine hand gun, G_D do I love that woman.

*Feminism is about making woman victims.*

I think this is the most profound statement on the topic.
When you REALLY think about it, they do NOT care about women, only about promoting their agenda.

It might even be the feminist’s motto...

This can only lead to escalation. Since Miss America (rather than this Miss USA competition) has a talent competition, I suggest that Miss Texas's talent be marksmanship.

My daughter's college, Seton Hall, had a self-defense class for incoming students. We had both our daughters take self defense courses before they left the nest. It helped my younger daughter last year. A guy tried to steal her purse. He got only bruised ribs although he maced her. He and his accomplice were caught by the police a week later. So stupid to commit crime on the streets of NYC - there are surveillance cameras in every business.

What ticks me off about the press, is they constantly constantly publicize criminals killing people with guns, but they almost never show the opposite end of the spectrum - People saving their lives using guns. I remember 10 years ago coming across a story that was like on page 89 of some paper I was reading, of a woman who was waiting for a bus late one night and this guy tried to drag her into this alley to rape her, I think he had a knife on him, and when he got on top of her guess what happened next? BANG! She blasted his brains out. One of the most awesome stories I ever read, absolutely beautiful example of the 2nd Amendment in action. And the thing is those kind of stories go on every single day, but you’ll never hear about them thank to The Communist propaganda machine posing as our fair and impartial media.

Opposed to self defense but will wildly cheer when ONE woman in movies can out-run, out fight, and out-shoot an entire squad of male special forces.

Would these be the same feminists who are pushing to deploy women in combat zones?


Probably.

Good for you. Even some basic training will give you an edge. The "she can't beat a trained man in a stand up fight" meme entirely misses the point.

Of course she can't. But she doesn't need to do so.

People don't seem to understand that you don't have to beat your attacker to a bloody pulp. You just have to distract them or make them pause long enough for you to get away.

And since most attackers do not expect resistance even a small amount, especially if you know exactly which areas to attack, can give you those precious few moments.

She is not saying that you can AVOID rape, she is saying that you can reduce the chances of someone being successful at raping you.

No one sensible believe that if you learn self defense (or get trained in firearm use) that nothing bad will ever happen to you.

What she is talking about is crime mitigation strategies .... this could apply to any crime, not just rape.

My thoughts exactly, learn to use a firearm, and get proficient at it, that’s the way to protect one’s self.

fourth degree black belt isn’t worth much if you’re up against actual hand to hand combat trained person.

Finally, one martial art actually worth learning, albeit, it’s a stepping stone to other forms of actual hand to hand combat.

TKD will get you killed in a real unarmed fight.

TKD, Karate, and most main stream arts are good for discipline, good for physical conditioning etc. I would encourage those that want to actually be effective in hand to hand though, to pick an actual hand to hand combat course and learn it well.

mail me if you want more info.
