This blog was sent to me by an internet feminist I know. It is very extreme and I didn't give much credibility to it. Something new I notice of "male privileges" was point 66.
"And even when women do get access to guns, they are typically steered towards sh*ttier, misfire-prone weapons that will not stop an attacker under the guise that they are “lighter weight” and “better suited to women’s smaller hands”.
I responded to this particular point. I don't push junk guns on women. When I take a woman shooting for her very first time, I encourage her to fire a full size 9 mm or .40 cal that she can comfortably hold. Most postings on INGO encourage women to find a gun that is reliable and is the best defense caliber she can shoot comfortably. Any woman in the US, with proper ID and no felonies can buy any gun she wants at a gun store. The only time she will end up with junk is if she goes in saying something like "I only have $300 for a gun." If she insists on buying something, then she will receive something. I'm sure most employees would try to "upsell" her something not for the sake of profit, but for the sake of buying something reliable if she wants it for self defense.
