An average man can quickly and easily incapacitate an average woman with his fists and feet. And if the man has a bludgeon (rock, pipe, hammer, baseball bat, etc.), he can incapacitate an average woman with one strike.<br /><br />If you want to reduce female domestic violence victims, educate women and empower them to immediately leave any man who has any violent tendencies. While doing that, empower women to repel attacks from men as well. Empowering women to repel attacks includes teaching them basic strikes (knees, kicks, punches) to vital areas and arming them with pepper sprays, tasers, and/or firearms.<br /><br />I love and respect all the women in my immediate and extended family. That is why I have personally educated and empowered as many as possible as I detailed above. And that is why I encourage the other women in my life who I have not personally been able to empower as I detailed above.<br /><br />-- TruthBeToldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-954056913931734112013-10-10T15:13:08.997+02:002013-10-10T15:13:08.997+02:00"We need to respect and love our women."..."We need to respect and love our women." -- Flying Junior<br /><br />I agree completely.<br /><br />-- TruthBeToldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-17157141559194461782013-10-10T15:09:22.613+02:002013-10-10T15:09:22.613+02:00Fact: male attackers are almost always taller, he...Fact: male attackers are almost always taller, heavier, faster, and most importantly <b>stronger</b> than their female victims. That puts women at a HUGE disadvantage whenever a man attacks them. The result: an average man with nothing but his fists and feet can easily and quickly incapacitate an average woman. Any weapon at all -- even a softball size rock -- in the hands of the male attacker makes an attack even more desperate for a female victim. Rest assured, men do not need firearms to brutally attack and kill women.<br /><br />Understanding this reality, anything that makes women weaker and reduces their options for defending themselves from a male attacker is obscene. The best tool that a woman can use to secure herself is her brain -- which she must use to make wise choices in relationships, including the decision to relocate to another state if necessary to evade a deranged ex-boyfriend or ex-spouse. The second best tool that a woman can use to secure herself is a firearm. A firearm in a woman's hands removes the advantages of size, speed, and strength that men have over most women. While a firearm does not guarantee a woman's safety, it sure gives her a better chance to stop an attacker before the attacker inflicts life threatening injuries.<br /><br />-- TruthBeToldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-38663730284776304232013-10-10T12:24:08.190+02:002013-10-10T12:24:08.190+02:00Yeah, you're a big supporter of women's ri...Yeah, you're a big supporter of women's rights as long as they don't bump up against you fetish.

The article attempts to make it appear that the FBI supports these conclusions, but two of the three links there are to the Violence Policy Center, hardly a group known for supporting gun rights. The third link is to a study down by sampling women in 1993 and 1994. But notice that 51% of women here are killed with a firearm.
