The Gun Is Civilization

34. it's that cornered kitty again!

Such a charmingly girly site, eh?

Say hello to Mrs. du Toit for me!

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gangbanger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

Yeah. And if reason fails to persuade "you", I'm dead.

Just like all the thousands of women murdered by their rational, gun-owning partners and estranged partners over the years are. Funny how a website for the gals doesn't seem to give a shit about them.

Oh dear, Mrs. du Toit seems to have been dropped from the roster.

Maybe they decided their association with the wife of that ugly racist wasn't such a good idea ...

Oh dear, Mrs. du T herself seems to have left the building:

Her screed survives in Google's cache, for the moment:

Ah, on looking around elsewhere, it seems she is permanently and seriously disabled somehow.

Connie's husband Kim (and now we can all deny knowledge of who Kim du Toit is) is famous for, among a bunch of other nasty stuff, his screed "The Pussification of the Western Male", which starts out: “We have become a nation of women”. I think the idea is that this is a bad thing.

Well anyhow, his wife just loves him, and the cornered catlady loved Connie. And also loves the foul Oleg Volk (banned from DU, by the way).

And your recommended site is the same pile of crap it was every other time it's been posted here.

The same filth about firearms control supporters ...

The same exploitation of women (and filth about reproductive choice advocates: "So called women's rights organizations will fight over the right to abort an unborn baby&quot ...

The same complete disregard for the real causes and manifestations of sexual and other violence against women ...

And yes, as feminists at this site well know, there are women who do all these things. You've found some. Congratulations.
