    Only if you can use it. Also, society is not a rape society as much as you paranoid, delusional, narcissistic, pieces of human excrement try to make it seem. The actual predators in society have become the false rape accusers. If you feel you need a gun fine, but you won’t need to use it on a rapist unless your rapist cult of wiccans decides they need to get you raped into their group like a gang initiation. Otherwise, most people will just think something is fucking wrong with you. Enjoy your isolation, if you aren’t there yet, you fucking will be soon. Likely get to a point you wish someone would rape you just to feel the touch of another human. You earned it.

        Nothing prepares you for the guys who are triggered over defending yourself from a rapist

          Guaranteed this guy is also like, “We should execute child molesters in the most horrific way imaginable! We should drag them into the town square and strip their skin off with tiny razors and then boil them in drain cleaner until they die!”

          But at the same time thinks that arming women for self defense is “a bad idea, not gonna go well, lot of innocent rapists getting murdered” smdh

    It’s difficult to measure rape statistics across countries. But we know, that if guns were prophylactic to rape, the US should have a disproportionately low statistic. It does not.

    And anybody who knows about rape knows that guns are impotent to stop the vast majority. That’s because a large portion of rape victims support and protect their attacker because it’s somebody they love.

    But sure, in an 80s action move fantasy, a woman with a gun is safe I guess.

      It’s wild how many people use 80s action movie as their basis for their understanding of the world.

          It’s a super easy trope to default to. It’s basically removing the chaos from mental scenarios to make it more palatable and voiding the evolutionary utility in having those thoughts in the first place. Seems like it’s more or less a coping mechanism for things likely to be out of our control.

    Yes shoots the kind of rapists the manoshphere talks about (in back alley, ski mask wearing, horny weirdo).

    But boyfriend doesn’t stop when he should, because it would hurt his masculinity.

    I would accuse you of putting the punch line in the title… But that would be admitting to a joke
