"Myths That Make It Hard To Stop Campus Rape"

If you expected "mandated disarmament makes us safer" to be debunked, forget it. [Read]

The very people decrying lack of justice ensure it can't happen. They're too invested in promulgating myths of their own.

"[O]ne researcher says many rapists are serial predators and intentionally look for vulnerable women."

An ex-lady friend of mine who was, at the time, a rape counselor told me essentially the same thing. She also explained that the type of male who fits that category will always seek out a victim unable to protect herself. That is why they prowl college campuses and the nearby environs.

That was over 20 years ago and things haven't improved. As long as colleges insist that students be easy victims the predators will keep hunting there.

At least, it will go on until the women start practicing the three S's.

David, Teresa here.
My uncle showed me your site. I saw,
I read, I enjoyed. (My Latin fails me.)

You rawk, dude. (Forgive me, I am 22.) ;)

That does not mean that I am stupid.

I carry a Kimber CDP II in a breakaway purse on my campus at ALL times. 230 gr Hydrashoks with 2 backup mags. I dare some lowlife to try to rape me or even assault me. Of course, I carry non-lethal weapons as well, but you never know. The .45 is reassuring for a little 120 lb girl. Besides, "they" can't see it! Or my CRKT folder!

I am NRA certified in many courses
and family certified in many more.

I do not care what "the law" says. I
am responsible for myself. F*** them! I know a lot of "kung phooey"
stuff, but security is a big .45 ACP.
I WILL carry no matter what "their"
rules say. They won't pay for my funeral.

At under one second with a PACT timer at the IDPA matches, I won't pay for theirs either. SS&S. Shh.

Sorry, but wimpy gurls piss me off!

"A real American girl in training"
Did I mention that I am majoring in
business with an eye on Constitutional Law? hehe

We are the generation after the lost generations. You old farts don't give up! We owe you one. TYVM!

Teresa, good for you and thanks. I hope you can be an influence on your peers. There's nothing quite like getting the word from someone in your group, so while guys like me may be dismissed as dinosaurs, someone like you can reach them.
