Unbelievable. #tcot Stacey-SisterToldjah (@sistertoldjah) June 09, 2014So wait now it's "unfeminist" to defend yourself if attacked? Jesus take the wheel. #missusa Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 09, 2014
Seems Miss Nevada said something about self-defence to a rape question & now half of twitter is freaking out because #MissUSA cant be smart (@Mistressnancy) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez, was crowned Miss USA on Sunday night. During the pageant, Sanchez, who has a fourth-degree black belt in taekwondo, was asked a question about sexual assaults on college campuses. Sanchez suggested that women get training to learn how to defend themselves.
Guess what happened next:
The #YesAllWomen crowd are going nuts that the winner supports self defense. Haha #MissUSA Mitch Behna (@MitchBehna) June 09, 2014
For many, yes, the suggestion that women learn to defend themselves was a ridiculous idea, and it even constituted victim blaming:
How did she win after that awful and offensive answer? Idiot Cait Cremeens (@CaitCremeens) June 09, 2014I'm sorry, but women shouldn't need to take self defense classes to protect themselves from rape #MissUSA Peter Simon (@PeterSimon12) June 09, 2014
Let's hope Nevada uses her media tour to reiterate that teaching girls self defense is NOT the best way to protect against assault #MissUSA Mandy Velez (@mandy_velez) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada, who just reinforced victim-blaming rape culture to millions of viewers, is crowned #MissUSA 2014. īrīn ✺ əfīʿ (@shereenTshafi) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada was asked about rape at colleges and answered that women need to learn to defend themselves OR MEN COULD JUST NOT RAPE. Anna Garcia (@a_mariagarica) June 09, 2014
Not happy w/ Miss Nevada's answer that to stop rape we should teach women to defend themselves Why don't we teach men to not rape? Kelsey Bemus (@KelseyBemus) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada described how individuals need to protect themselves from rape, instead of teaching others not to rape. Stop the victim blaming. Haley Ploucha (@hallepalouka) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada saying rape can be prevented by women learning self defense and being "confident" 😒😒😒 haben (@Whatshabbennin) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada👎 Sick of hearing "women need to learn selfdefense from sexual violence" We need a culture we don't have to defend ourselves from Colleen Gibbons (@GibbonsColleen) June 09, 2014
Women shouldn't need to learn to protect themselves against rape #missnevada educate and respect yourself as a woman #rapeculture Anna Beth West (@annabethwest) June 09, 2014
I get that the college sexual assault problem can't be solved in 30 secs but still icky to pretend like self defense is the answer. #MissUSA Elisa Benson (@elisabenson) June 09, 2014
@hayley_lady What she is doing is promoting the idea of a woman taking control of their own life. Hooray Beerz (@HoorayBeerz1) June 09, 2014
@HoorayBeerz1 Maybe that was her intention, but she should've noted that a lack of self-defense is not the reason behind rape. Hayley Johnson (@hayley_lady) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada saying women should learn self defense to prevent rape/sexual assault 👌 k. #yourejokingright Emily Cowart (@cowartemily) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada's answer is my problem with the way people look at the issue of sexual violence, it's not just about self defense #MissUSA Yamini Bhandari (@YamBhands) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada might be gorgeous, but needs to realize teaching self defense to women isn't the solution for ending sexual assault #YesAllWomen Elisabeth Jasina (@jasinae) June 09, 2014
Miss Iowa says today's youth are narcissistic followed by Miss Nevada who wants to end rape with self defense classes Really? Sick #MissUSA Bergen N. Baucom (@BergenNBaucom) June 09, 2014
Really Miss Nevada? We should combat rape with self defense? Rape culture wins again 😒 Meaghan Miller (@MeaghanAwesome) June 09, 2014
Hey Miss Nevada- how about instead of woman learning to protect themselves, men learn to not rape women? Cait Cremeens (@CaitCremeens) June 09, 2014
No, Miss Nevada. The solution to rape is not that all women should have black belts. Thanks though. #nottheproblem #missedthepoint #MissUSA Ashley Ramsey Hannum (@ashleyrramsey) June 09, 2014
Miss Nevada: How is it a woman's responsibility to learn to protect herself from rape? #MissUSA2014 #MissUSA #getaburkatoo Stef (@stefawilson) June 09, 2014
Self-defense training seems to make more sense than certain other ridiculous methods that have been suggested, but apparently many disagree.
WTH do the hairy-legs have against self-defense? Last I checked, “empowerment” was their big push... what’s more empowering than fending off an attacker?
Ah well.. liberals and common sense are akin to oil and water.
Stupid liberal bitches... of COURSE a society in which women aren’t attacked should be the goal, but until then... WHAT????
Seems the women’s rights movement has abandoned the “empowerment” stance???
Go to work? I shouldn’t have to worry about money and food.
Actually, this one is becoming quite popular in certain circles.
Yeah, you see, if you are raped you can get a state subsidized abortion, but if you shoot the raper you could kill him, and that wouldn't be right...Would it? I mean, it's better to kill an innocent, unborn child than to kill some slime ball just trying to get his jollies. Right?
There’s just one reason feminists watch the Miss USA pageant, and that’s so they can find something to have a meltdown over.
Self defense exemplifies personal responsibility. Both negate the foundation of Marxism: that someone else is responsible for your misfortunes.
Freeing people of victimhood is freeing them from Marxism -the foundation of Liberalism.
I don’t think rape is something Rosie and most feminists will ever have to worry about.
Even deranged pshycopaths have some self respect.
Those statiastics on college rape are seriously nflated and don’t do anyone a service because they trivialize violent sexual assault and put it on the same level as pity sex.
We should pass a law requiring helmets when riding unicorns.
She's so ugly, two guys broke into her apartment, she yelled "RAPE!" and they both cried out, "NOOOOOOOO!" - Rodney Dangerfield
Yes, the bad news is that you will now be on the hook for attending the family reunion.
Defenselessness is empowering!
War is peace!
Ignorance is strength!
Freedom is slavery!
[ I don’t understand why this is an either-or situation in their minds, as if saying women should learn self defense means the word will go out to all men that it is now OK to rape. It is possible to do both. Teach that rape is wrong. Suggest women learn to defend themselves. ]
This makes no sense because the feminists claim they belive in natural selection so let’s select against rapist by arming women and having them pre-emptively take them out of the gene pool. Instead they are wanting to work against natural selection because their agenda trumps common sense.
Real bitches, female dogs, are a lot smarter and shouldn’t be insulted by being likened to such inferior,vile creatures as “human” feminists. A real bitch will defend herself against any dog that dries to rape her and will defend her puppies against any creature that tries to harm them.
How unbelievably stupid her detractors are.
Reminds me of day I went to a martial arts exhibit at local karate school. Two seriously ugly lesbians were grunting and growling but could not, for the life of them, put their hands through the small board used for beginners. Then, a tiny, very pretty and feminine Korean woman was tossing enormous black belt men over her shoulder. She was so serene, centered, and unruffled, she could have been rocking the baby with her other arm.
Another point to remember is that for a feminist just about any sex is rape. This includes consensual sex if the woman has second thoughts the day or week or month afterwards.
Classic example of the notion that all problems of society can be solved with "education."
If caught, a rapist will presumably ask, "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?"

With possible rare exceptions where a rapist is legally insane, he knows it's wrong, or at least illegal, and he decides to do it anyway.
Oh, there is another possible exception where all parties are drunk or drugged and not really aware of what's going on. But doesn't seem likely education would be of much help there either.
Used to teach state-required CE classes in Ethics to insurance agents and adjusters. With very rare exceptions, everything discussed was perfectly obviously unethical. Nobody engaged in such behavior would be unaware they were doing wrong. But state legislatures would put in a requirement for Ethics education whenever an egregious example of insurance company wrongdoing came to light. As if ignorance of ethical obligations is the issue.
Wowsers. She actually looks feminine.
Since her name is Sanchez, I can only conclude that these femnazis hate Hispanics and people of color.
