I dont know about this "world over" position. Last I knew the champion skeet shooter in the U.S. was a woman. Last time I taught a concealed carry
class there were 11 women and one man in the room.
Besides, law doesnt matter. Lord knows illegal activities occur every second of every minute. You mean to tell me that the very act of slaughtering
and raping are actually legally sanctioned therefore permissible but raising an arm in ones own defense being illegal is impossible? It's ridiculous
in the face of blatently illegal action to use legality as an excuse for inaction.
World over. Yes. Indeed. One of the reasons women's sports isn't advancing as fast as mens is that their are far fewer competitors and teams and
levels upon which to hone skills. Because sport participation is a First World, and a middle-class to rich First World thing for women. Of the women
that participate outside of those, they are a select few who are supported by grants and still have way fewer opportunities to competitively train to
improve skills.
Most of the World, women don't have even the slightest possibility to train for skills in defense let alone skills to combat an army.
And yes, defending oneself from rape isn't legal in many areas. If you did, you'd have to prove he was attacking you. With witnesses. How many
rapists attack in public? And if they do attack with witnesses, you can assume that the witnesses are there WITH HIM. So if the woman hurts or kills
him, SHE is the criminal.
In many socieites, men can pay their way out of rape. Women and the other hand are ostracized, or even forced to marry their rapists, or killed.
Because the real crime is the rape. It is that you were raped, and then caused societal problems by being hurt or talking about it.
Further, when you don't have a job you don't make money. In many places women's property isn't their own. So even if you do many money, it
isn't yours. So as a girl, you'd have to hope that your FATHER would pay for you to have traning in defense or offense, and he wouldn't do that
because it isn't womanly and makes you bad marriage material. Which is your main worth.
As a grown woman, you'd have to have the TIME to do it. Which if your spouse isn't helping you with household and parental duties, you don't have.
Even if you have money - which is probably legally his. Now, let us say that everything bucks societal convention. Now you have to find someone who
WILL train you for real - not just barely at all. If you are even allowed to train in defense or offensive tactics. Sometimes, you cannot even GET
to a place to train. You have no rights to transport, or the money to pay for it.
Now let us instead think, one lives in a more modernized society.
The reality that if suddenly an army of trained soldiers landed upon your city, and secured a community. They outnumber the men. First they remove
the men. Then you expect that somehow the women would instead choose to fight instead of being raped. Which alot of them would. IF they weren't
being held in seclusion in their respective houses. Which groups of soldiers then go into.
You think that these women, regular suburban women will somehow subdue an army of trained soldiers whose mission is to commit rapes. Individually.
How is it the logistical problem you are talking about isn't clueing into you?
