The rape rate for women trained to shoot rapists is somewhat closer to zero …

My takeaway? Incredulity that about one-fourth of women attending college will be raped while there!
The temptation is to say that in Canada rapists feel pretty cock-sure (as it were) that their victim won’t be armed, otherwise that percentage would be much smaller based on psychological deterrence alone.
But then I remember that right here in the land of the free, neither women nor men are allowed that protection on most college campuses.
And that leads me to wonder (and to hope somebody with more ambition than I would research) how the numbers here compare to there, and to speculate how those numbers might change if every scumbag comtemplating sexual assault had to also contemplate whether that vulnerable little cutie might perforate him for his efforts.
Training to resist any violent attack is a good thing, but it’s not for naught that firearms are known as the great equalizer, with the power to dissuade evil sometimes even without being pulled.

When the college crowd talks about rape, they mean that a woman who doesn’t really want to have sex but agrees to it anyway because the man is putting social pressure on her, she was just raped.

Glad to see the utterly debunked “1 in 5” college women rape stat has been retired. But is “1 in 4” any more believable?

Sorry, but the dogma is “teach men not to rape, not women not to be raped”.
Doesn’t matter that that’s a complete category mistake and utterly ineffective.
Suggesting that women have any say in the matter of whether they can stop a rape is victim blaming.
(Well, I mean, they’ll tell you it is. I don’t think so, personally.)
