Equality
Pema Levy brings teh stoopid:
For this reason, gun control should be a feminist issue. Not only do gun control laws protect women, but current anti-gun regulation efforts are targeted specifically at laws that save women’s lives. There appears to be a lack of collaboration between feminists and advocates for sensible gun laws, despite the common interest the groups appear to share
Actually, gun control laws protect no one. Read in the news all the time where some estranged dude walks right through a restraining order and kills a woman. But an armed woman can cut the chance of recidivism to zero. Via Jeff, who notes:
Maybe more “feminists” are realizing that playing the perpetual victim is the most un-liberating state you can be in.

My wife is a feminist, and basically all it took to convert her to the fold was to point out that a gun makes her the equal of anyone who wants to harm her. She had never handled a gun before meeting me, and now she sleeps with a shotgun nearby.

Feminist? Those things are still around?
Look Bill Clinton killed you all. Back in the irrelevance crypt, zombie feminist.

I had trouble reading the quote from Pema Levy because it’s so illogical that my brain kept filling in the gaps and putting words in that weren’t there to make it sound sensible. I had to read it three times before I could see how idiotic the statement was.
Feminists are just Socialists who feel that Females are inherrently superior to Males. They are not now, nor have they ever been, for the equal rights of women. Example, what is a “Masculinist”? Are they for equal rights of both genders? How can they not be?
The political movement to give women equal rights under the law and to change society and culture to make women the social equals of men was called “Sufferage” and the women (and men) who supported the movement were called “Sufferagates”, not “Feminists”. Feminists strive to make Males into Females in a social, sexual, and psycological way, which is a biological falacy.
