If you don't recognize that name, ddg it, eh?

For those of you that do recognize that name, here she is again.

I like her proposal, this time.
I'm a firm believer in guns and ammo for everybody.

If you are afraid of getting raped, get a 5 shot 22magnum revolver and carry that thing with you every where.
If you wear dresses, strap it to your leg.
If you wear pants, get a gun belt and wear a long shirt.

Purses are an option, but sure as shootin' your gun won't be there when you need it because you have walked away from your purse.

Or, you can just keep getting raped and waiting for armed, uniformed man, that likely wants to rape you too, to do something for you.
Seems like a no brainer, to me.

I Favour Violence: Andrea Dworkin

In this short video Andrea Dworkin answers the question: “is law is an appropriate tool for the protection and also the advancement of women?”

Well, what I feel about it is that we have to use what we’ve got and what we’ve got isn’t very much and we have to find some way to keep the rapists off the streets.
There are different ways of doing it, law is only one way of doing it.

I myself favour violence, deeply.
I favour it.
And the reason that I favour it is that the law isn’t working.
And as long as the law isn’t working women who have been attacked or who are being attacked need to understand that they have a right to defend themselves against anyone who is attacking them.

Many people prefer the legal system, I don’t blame them for that, I wish it would work.
It’s not working.
We have another 50 years to try to get it to work.
We have a woman (whose name I’m not remembering right now) who killed a paedophile, who raped her son.
It was clear that he was going to be acquitted, so she shot him.
In my view she did the right thing.
I admire her for what she did.

So, I’m willing to sit down with my sisters and think of a dozen other things that we can do that are not terrible things to do, but we have to do something.
We can’t do nothing.

That’s my answer to you.

As you can see, Andrea is continuing her defense of women's right to exist as individuals.
So much of our 'culture' denies the individualness of people at our mercy that this is a step in the right direction, if you ask me.
