As an armed, conservative woman, I only wish that the gun-fearing female was considered as abnormal as the gun-fearing male.
This is the 21st century - things should be changing.
Not every man is a fighter and not every man should be a fighter. To be perfectly honest, I am a fighter, have always been a fighter, and in my later years I've begun to regret it to a certain degree. There is still a little piece of me that revels in physical confrontation, and to be honest, I don't like that piece of me very much anymore.
However, I digress. Having taught self-defense, I can say with certainty that the worst thing that anyone can do is arm the man (or woman) who doesn't have that fighting spirit. A weapon in the hands of the person who lacks the will to cause grievous injury or even death, is a weapon that will never be used in time.
Picking on the gentler people (Christ called them the meek) because they are gentle is pointless and cruel. Cajoling them into posturing as tough guys, when there is no way they'll ever really be tough guys is just reckless and places them in even more danger than they'd otherwise be in.
There are no guns on brokeback Mountain.
anti-gun male is an oxymoron.
similar to modern liberal and intelligence.
Bump!
Ahh...yeah. I have long believed that American liberal politics provide a cover for cowardly males. Anti-gun males are mostly cowards squared IMO. Better men and now women protect their right to be wussies.
The same arguments apply to the embracing of pacifism.
It seems I read this years ago. What is the original publication?
