45. So your solution to the rape problem is for women to shoot their attackers?

Oct 2018

So, according to the attacks listed in my OP:

1. My mother would have killed her college boyfriend. At a party.
2. My sister would have killed her friend. At a party.
3. I would have killed a co-worker. At a party. (The other attack was by a stranger, but I was in high school at the time and very unlikely to have had a firearm on me on my bike as I was coming home from school).
4. My friend would have killed multiple friends / boyfriends.

Maybe a better solution is that men stop raping their girlfriends, friends, and co-workers?
