This writer discusses the disconnect between left wing talking points on women's empowerment... and the their position on confiscating guns...
Marina Medvin - The Right To Bear Arms Is The Right to Gender Equality
In boxing, a fighter’s weight is measured and reported to the audience. Size matters in a fight.
I’m a 5’3” female and I weigh in at a whopping 104 lbs. (Tiny person, mighty spirit.) But presumably I wouldn’t do well fending off a physical attack.
So when liberals started talking about female empowerment and fighting rapists, I got excited. Turns out, we had some disconnect on what empowerment really means. My internal conversation with liberals went something like this:
Libs: “We need to empower women. We need to fight against rape and bad men. Gender equality!”
Me: “Alright! Let’s teach women self defense, concealed carry, escape tactics, etc. Yeah! I’m in!”
Libs: “So to do this, give me your guns.”
Me: “Wait. What? You just said empower me, fight them, equality for all. And you said I should defend against rape. How do you expect me to do that without a firearm?”
Libs: “On Twitter. We want you to be empowered on Twitter. Also, wear a pussy hat and parade around in public with others wearing the same pussy hat. That will make you feel empowered. [something incomprehensible] gender equality!”
Me: “Are you insane?!”
Libs: “You’re either with us, or you’re a Nazi or a racist.”

Anyway, how do I fight rape with Twitter? I can’t even fight rape by calling the police. Cops don’t magically appear between me and a rapist to save me and arrest him on the spot. Twitter doesn’t appear in the real world, period. So how do I fight a rapist with my words and my politics, which is essentially what you propose?”
