But I thought that Miss United States contestant Gracie Lou Freebush of New Jersey did a self defense class as her talent portion of the pageant.
Now self defense at beauty pageants is out?

Full Title: "‘Rape culture wins’: Feminist freakout after Miss Nevada dares suggest self defense training for women"
Key in these search terms. --> #missusa self defense <--- What you'll find will shock the hell out of you. 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 can’t 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.— šīrīn ✺ šəfīʿ (@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.
Self defense DOES “teach men not to rape”, one asskicking at a time.
Beats the current doctrine of comply, observe, report by a long shot.
Also, the harridans need to realize that, while this is not “ending sexual assaults” in the large picture, it does go a long way toward keeping any particular woman from being just another statistic.
Oh, I know.
Indy just sentenced a 17 yo black for raping a 90 year old white woman
But I thought that Miss United States contestant Gracie Lou Freebush of New Jersey did a self defense class as her talent portion of the pageant.
Now self defense at beauty pageants is out?

There's always concealed carry...
Libs would much rather spend their time and effort explaining what's wrong with someone else's thinking.
Looking at her instagram, for research purposes, she appears to be a Christian as well: www.instagram.com/missnvusa2014
You never heard of the Kennedy’s?

Good one.
Every liberal in this nation would gladly applaud a million rapes if it caused the gun industry to go bankrupt. These people are beyond reasoning with.
