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 fighterâs weight is measured and reported to the audience. Size matters in a fight.
Iâm a 5â3â female and I weigh in at a whopping 104 lbs. (Tiny person, mighty spirit.) But presumably I wouldnât 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: âWe need to empower women. We need to fight against rape and bad men. Gender equality!â
Me: âAlright! Letâs teach women self defense, concealed carry, escape tactics, etc. Yeah! Iâm in!â
Libs: âSo to do this, give me your guns.â
Me: âWait. 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?â
Libs: âOn Twitter. We want you to be empowered on Twitter. Also, wear a ***** hat and parade around in public with others wearing the same ***** hat. That will make you feel empowered. [something incomprehensible] gender equality!â
Me: âAre you insane?!â
Libs: âYouâre either with us, or youâre a Nazi or a racist.â
---------
Anyway, how do I fight rape with Twitter? I canât even fight rape by calling the police. Cops donât magically appear between me and a rapist to save me and arrest him on the spot. Twitter doesnât 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?â
