> You are so lost
Yes, I look at the thread's title, then at the last couple of pages, then at the title again and feel really lost
sorry man, we are talking about how women can defend themselves in the realworld, the airbed was a sidejab at @BasixWhiteBoy for trolling women.
Nah you just mentioned second amendment and it got derealed from there
We are talking about how women can be more safe, guns.
Have you ever heard of an armed woman who knows how to do self defense get abused badly?
Yes. Many. Mostly by partners, family, friends that were trusted in error, etc.
That is the reality of abuse and related crimes that cannot be named here, not someone who jumps out of the bushes wearing a ski mask.
I really haven't, could you name a few, sorry.
No, I'm not going to name my friends and acquaintances.
As for you, the truth is that you do know such people, unless you live in an all-male bubble somewhere—they just haven't talked about it to you.
It's a bit like... When it comes to messages I receive from a certain populous, homophobic country (I'll not name it so as to not derail), there are mostly two kinds of people who message me from there: lesbians, and men who "have never met a lesbian". The reality is that if they have met perhaps 10 women in their life, of course they have, based on statistical averages; they just haven't come across as safe people to talk to about that. So they think lesbians are incredibly rare.
Same deal, I suspect, when it comes to you not knowing any fight-capable woman who has been abused as described.
Plus, I think that when I said "mostly it's by partners, family, friends who were trusted in error", you are still imagining it to be sudden PvP deathmatch. Reality is not usually like that.
If I were to describe to you what reality is like, probably my post would be deleted.
And coercive living situations, similarly, can't often be solved with violence unless you want your new coercive living situation to be a jail. And many other scenarios that are far, far more common than what you seem to be imagining.
