Comment on It is apparently controversial
Kaboom@reddthat.com 5 months agoTbh, my bigger question is if you’re in bear country, why arent you carrying a big gun? Be prepared!
The whole thing just reinforces a helpless victim mentality, and it irritates me. Its misogynistic. If you’re that worried, buy a gun, learn to use it safely, and carry it. To me, this is on the same level of not having a fire extinguisher or toilet plunger. I just dont understand people who refuse basic defense. Did they watch an old western and see the damsel get tied to the railroad tracks and get the wrong message?

Some people think “just buy a fire extinguisher”. Other people think “why not prevent the fire in the first place?” And a few people think "I prefer defense in depth. Mitigate the fires to the degree possible and keep a fire extinguisher nearby for emergencies.
Only one of these people has it right. Can you guess which one?

In both scenarios, youre still carrying the gun. Just in one, youre not going down crime alley at night. Youre carrying regardless.
